Conservation interviews I did

An interview I did about banning shark fishing / finning and stopping the harvest of sea turtle eggs for human consumption (http://www.cdnn.info/news/eco/e090302a.html)


Finally got a copy uploaded (permanent link I hope) of a video I helped make about conservation in the Maldives by Banyan Tree resorts. It took a while to get a copy up because I had to wait for non-copyrighted music to be produced for the video. Now that it has been, I can freely distribute. Enjoy!

Return to the Marianas Trench

Cool that James Cameron has gone back to the Mariana's Trench, almost 7 miles below the sea surface. Wonder if one of these rich adventurers (e.g., Cameron, Richard Branson) will one day accomplish: deepest point on Earth's surface accessible (Mariana Trench), highest point (Mount Everest), and go to outer space (100km up). Would become the greatest adventurer in Earth's history.
