LECTURING AND MEDIA APPEARANCES

18th and 19th century explorers Alexander von Humbolt, Thomas Huxley, Alfred Russel Wallace, Louis Agassiz, and Henry Morton Stanley conveyed their discoveries to the public in vivid lectures.

Conservation does not need to be presented as dry statistics and dismal news.  Self-funded through his writing and photography, Mark challenges himself to find new ways to tell stories about the little-known in the natural world. Through his unique and firsthand scientific knowledge, he introduces a Universe of special creatures in his smart, adrenaline-packed appearances.

"You haven’t lived till you’ve seen him imitate courtship displays of a jumping spider or praying mantis; the way Jane Goodall looks at chimpanzees is the way Mark looks at bugs and ants and spiders"

"Some of Mark Moffett’s job skills bear little resemblance to those found on a typical academic resume:  a love of arboreal existence, an apparent immunity to tropical diseases, rock-steady hands and the ability to place his ankle behind his head.  Fortunately, Moffett has discovered the singular occupation that brings together this exotic collection of talents.  As a biologist interested in rainforest canopies, he has spent countless hours hanging from nylon ropes or clinging to slippery branches observing the activities of forest denizens from orangutans to mites."
