From the top of the world's tallest tree,
to deep in unexplored caves, Mark Moffett has discovered new species and behavior while risking life and limb to find stories that make people fall in love with the unexpected in nature.  Mark is a real-life adventurer with awards for writing and photography... and now the highest honors in exploration, the 2006 Lowell Thomas Medal, from the Explorers Club and Rolex, bestowed on him at Cipriani Wall Street;  and  in 2008 the sixth Roy Chapman Andrews Society Distinguished Explorer Award.


With a Ph.D. from acclaimed conservationist Edward O. Wilson, Mark remains active in science, with over 80 peer-reviewed publications.  He has penned more than 24 articles for National Geographic Magazine, which has featured nearly 500 of his images.   Invite Mark to tell stories at your institution and be inspired by his courage, awestruck by his knowledge, and intoxicated by his passion.
