A bit about Geoff: Geoff’s interest in nature began at 13 years of age when he
wandered through the woods and countryside near his Canadian home at
Petawawa, learning about nature first hand. From the time he went to university to
study wildlife to when he worked for Parks Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment, he has dedicated his life to protecting and studying wild things – be
they birds, mammals, insects or plants. After his retirement in 2006, Geoff headed
off on a new career path, where he put his life long studies to work – he became an
expedition and interpretive guide. He has led numerous trips to Antarctica, Svalbard,
Russia and Alaska, Cuba and Borneo. A prolific author, Geoff wrote a previous book
on mammals, is widely published in nature magazines and newspapers.
Specializing in both tropical and polar environs, he has travelled the world, visiting
over 55 countries on all seven continents, where he has shared time with polar
bears, Amazonian snakes and piranhas, observed the private lives of lions, avoided
riots in Venezuela, hiked the Andes, camped with Pademelons, walked with
penguins and canoed Ontario’s northern lakes.
