Wildlife tourism in Costa Rica: Why biodiversity matters

11 March 202211 March 20221 Comment

We've (Lizzie and Chris) just got back from Costa Rica. Apart from being an absolutely fantastic treat after so long not going on holiday, it was also a really inspirational trip. In the 1940s Costa Rica was 75% forest. Much of this (by some estimations up to half) was lost over the coming decades to … Continue reading Wildlife tourism in Costa Rica: Why biodiversity matters

Kayaking in the Sound of Arisaig

8 October 202129 November 20214 Comments

When I started working at Lifescape Project and learnt about our Wildside leave policy, I was pretty excited. Two days extra holiday per year to spend time in nature and engage with wildlife to make sure I never forget why it is so important to protect it. I knew I’d joined the right organisation! I … Continue reading Kayaking in the Sound of Arisaig

How to use a camera trap to discover local wildlife

29 May 2020Leave a comment

Think you know what wildlife lives near you? Think again. Chances are, there’s a lot more out there then you realise! In fact, most wildlife is pretty elusive and will go undetected in front of your eyes and ears. In the UK, we have a whole host of interesting mammals that we only bump into … Continue reading How to use a camera trap to discover local wildlife

Swimming with orcas

17 March 202024 March 2020Leave a comment

In August last year, I read an article online which had me desperate to go to the Arctic Circle to go swimming with orcas. What followed was a period of intense research looking into how, when, and where to go. Something which actually proved quite difficult. Having been and done it I can say it … Continue reading Swimming with orcas

Snorkelling with orcas in Norway

25 January 202031 January 2020Leave a comment

The sun did its best, casting a ricochet of light from somewhere far over the horizon to dimly illuminate the surrounding north Nordic fjords. We walked in this pale ‘civil twilight’ through the small industrial town of Skjervoy, having arrived by ferry from Tromso the day before. The one or two shops we passed were … Continue reading Snorkelling with orcas in Norway

Searching for the Kongkang

7 October 20197 February 2020Leave a comment

As I exited Singapore’s Changi Airport, I felt the harsh, hot hit of the South East Asian humidity for the very first time. Unlike most, I wasn’t here for the bright city lights and culinary delights of Singapore. This was merely a pit stop on a trip of firsts, experiences, and unintentional discoveries. Instead, I … Continue reading Searching for the Kongkang

Going on a bear hunt

19 April 201914 January 20201 Comment

We’re in Colombia, looking at some ancient statues, and somebody says, “there’s a village nearby here, the baby spectacled bears come down from the mountains for bananas, it’s only an hour away by motorbike, or 3 hours by horse”. Chris and I exchange glances, here we go again… Flashback 6 months. I am researching where … Continue reading Going on a bear hunt
