Soundscapest, yes indeed! Bernie and I have known each other for about the last 15 years, we currently work together on the board of a non-profit that does environmental research and education. Into a Wild Sanctuary is his latest book, filled with some of his best stories. If you enjoyed it, be sure to get the previous one, Notes From the Wild, which includes a CD of some of the animal sounds which he describes in the accounts of his field work, and a bit of the music of the Babenzele Pygmies.

Bernie has had an extraordinary life, in fact he's had several extraordinary lives, and is quite a character. His website is well worth a visit-- it's www.wildsanctuary.com

Given your name, I can imagine you must be fascinated by his work. Do you do something similar?
