John L. Vankat


Genre


Vankat is an ecologist, educator and writer. His interest in how forests have changed through history began with youthful fascination with repeat photographs, in which historical images had been retaken many decades later to reveal long-term changes. Such repeat photographs captivate and educate the public, land managers, and scientists by revealing our past and present impacts on nature.

John has a bachelor’s degree from Carleton College as well as master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California, Davis. His doctoral research on ecological changes in Sequoia National Park began with a summer spent repeating historical photographs across the Park’s challenging 13,000-foot elevational range.

“As a resident of the forest, a lover of the outdoors, and an ecologist, I am concerned for our future safety and enjoyment of the San Francisco Peaks. The upcoming years will be challenging. This area’s population has tripled over the last fifty years, a rate exceeding that of the world’s population. This growth, combined with increases in tourism, land use, climate change, consumption, and wildfires, demands attention and action from everyone who cares about the present and future of this special place.”
