Welcome...
... to my home on the Web. I'm an environmental writer with a focus on fundamental but underreported, often generally unrecognized ecological issues.
Headlines distract us with other concerns, but there is no question our ecological predicament is humanity's greatest challenge.
It's so much more than climate change. If we hope to mitigate further environmental disaster and avert the cataclysm of global ecological collapse, we must face squarely such topics as the the ongoing sixth mass extinction of species in Earth's history and the closely related size and growth of the human population. Looking more deeply, it is time we questioned the sustainability of agriculture and civilization itself. The growing "rewilding" movement offers a positive vision for the future. (Find references elsewhere on the site.)
Here you can see a snapshot of my efforts to bring light to these topics. See the blog for recent thoughts and updates.
Thanks for stopping by!

It is essential to see the profound peril in continued flagrant misperception of the very nature of the human situation. -- William R. Catton, Jr.
