Tim Carr
Some of Tim’s earliest and most lasting impressions of nature happened while growing up on one of Namibia’s diamond mines along the fringes of the Namib desert. After dinner he remembers getting into the old family Peugeot and driving though the town, looking for Oryx and Jackal that were attracted into town by the irrigated lawns.
Martin Cohen

After successfully completing a PhD. in tropical biology, Martin has spent much of the last 25 years using various mediums to share his knowledge and passion about the natural world with people from all walks of life.
Ross Gammon
Born in Zimbabwe and raised between a 45,000-acre game ranch and the town of Victoria Falls, Ross grew up with wildlife quite literally on his doorstep. Moving to South Africa’s southern coastline added the ocean to that early love of wild places, and he soon became as comfortable surfing and diving as he was in the bush. After qualifying as a PADI Specialty Dive Instructor and diving extensively from the kelp forests of Cape Town to the warm reefs of Zanzibar, he spent several years exploring dive sites across Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
Anant Samuel Erickson
Born in Ajmer, a picturesque small town in the heart of Rajasthan surrounded by the Aravali hills, Anant Samuel Erickson grew up with nature on his doorstep. Descended from a long line of hunters and naturalists, he was raised on tales of their adventures around the fire at night. By day, he spent every free moment wandering the hills, swimming in the streams, and fishing the crystal-clear lakes they fed.
