What do you care about?

Burkey, Tormod V. | May 16, 2017 | 0 Comments

If you’re going to dedicate your life to fighting to save the world, you need a pretty good reason why. Even people considering a small sacrifice in daily life will look for a reason. It remains a prevalent view that such arguments must be measured in terms of value to humans to be effective.

Thor's Hammer

Tormod Vaaland Burkey loves animals. With a vengeance. He has struggled since childhood with the difficulties of saving endangered species, the natural world, the habitats of other species, and the beautiful places on earth, from the greed and stupidity of humans. He has a PhD in ecology and conservation biology from Princeton University. He is an environmental activist, a birder, a diver, and a sea kayaker, who longs to experience wildlife untrammeled by habitat degradation and persecution. He lives in a cabin on the banks of the river Glomma, in Norway, with “his” cat, Kitty, and writes for a diversity of outlets.
