Description
This week we speak to ornithologist, author and tour guide Phil Chaon. Phil’s career has taken him literally across the world, first for research and more recently as a tour guide. Phil also recently co-authored the amazing book Habitats of The World, and is hard at work on a follow up called Habitats of North America. Phil spoke about the differences between the life of a field biologist versus a tour guide, and also the responsibilities of leading ethical ecotours. Finally Phil shared the most Peruvian field story ever, let’s just say we doubt he will ever need to buy that many onions again in his life! Another fantastic episode with a very interesting guest!
