In 2010, the UN Year of Biodiversity, I founded Biodiversity Professionals. With 25,000+ members, this group is now LinkedIn's largest group for conservation, wildlife, environment and natural resources professionals. I am Secretary of the Board for SavingSpecies, a non-profit founded by Dr. Stuart Pimm and dedicated to biodiversity conservation. SavingSpecies Science Board includes luminaries such as Tom Lovejoy and Peter Raven, Pat Wright and E. O. Wilson. I work with Discovery Education on developing lesson plans, video content and interactive widgets and apps. The projects I have worked with include creating educational resources for the movie Racing Extinction and for The Nature Conservancy.
