***

Simon Mustoe has worked all over the world as an ecologist, expeditioner and conservationist. He’s tumbled in boats amid frigid North Atlantic storms, trekked solo into Madagascar’s remote dry forests, discovered unknown species of seabird in Australia’s tropical ocean territories and recorded previously unseen whales in West Papua. His thirty years as a researcher, communicator, expert witness and consultant for industry, governments and conservation groups has offered many oblique views of our interaction with nature and candid examples of our failure to protect it and ourselves.

Simon Mustoe answered Babette Gallard's question: I'm embarrassed. I asked if you wanted me to review your book and maybe you could do the same for my recently published book, but then I looked at yours and saw all the amazing and high-value reviews you already have! I'm reading Wildlife in the Balance now - beautifully and thoughtfully written. Thank you. If you ever had time, could you still have a look at mine? The theme is 100% environmental. OMG, that's so lovely. And it only took me 2 years to respond! I am terrible at using online media. It's so time consuming, I've only literally just logged in. Very happy to oblige if you are still interested. Haha.
