We want to help the birding tourism industry come back strong from the COVID pandemic. For example, one of our most popular tours is birdwatching along the world famous Manu Road, crossing an extraordinary range of life zones, from highlands (C**k of the Rock Lodge) to lowlands (Manu Wildlife Center).

In fact, it’s hard to think of a wildlife watching activity I’m more conflicted about, other than perhaps alomost industrial levels of diving in fragile reefs (or the remains thereof). What’s a wildlife enthusiast to do? If you have a passion for wildlife in general, it’s a whole other world.

So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. While there is a lot left to be done when it comes to research and nature protection in many tropical countries, there are not that many jobs in that line of work, and ecotourism seem to be the industry of choice.

The water this Northern Pintail is in has human poo in it, which completely ruins the experience of seeing this bird. I know part of the experience of birding is taking in the beauty of the outdoors, but (call me crazy) I’m actually in it for the birds. Oh wait, it doesn’t. Radio Road, Redwood Shores, CA.

After Alexander’s happy accident, other hybrids followed, and a nascent American wine industry was born. Even though they’re from my home state, I really don’t have much experience with Finger Lakes wines.

With the Industrial Revolution an even more profound and terrifying transformation has overwhelmed them. It has everything to do with "the quantity of pain that these unfortunate beings experience." They have become, in Ruth Harrison 's most apt description, "animal machines."

If you ever wonder why so many American birders leaven their love of nature with a little self-loathing, look no further than the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation , which the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service conducts every five years or so. But that’s old news. Birders pay bupkis.
