As anyone who visits this site knows, I am a huge supporter of the conservation movement and do my best in my books (particularly the FunJungle series) to educate readers about environmental issues.
So I am pleased to announce that I have joined the advisory board of Conservation Nation. This organization has two goals:
- To provide grants and support to emerging and established conservationists from underrepresented groups who are doing wildlife-saving work.
- To engage and inspire underserved high school students to explore careers in conservation through programs that offer experiential learning, access to field professionals, and micro grants for projects close to home.
You can learn more about this great organization by clicking here.

I had my first meeting as part of the advisory committee on education yesterday and I could not be more impressed by the people who work for CN, the plans they have and their commitment to both the planet and to the next generation of conservationists.
NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!
