Description
In a remote Neotropical forest of Amazonia, John recently helped establish new Rio San Martin Ecological Station. Besides flocks of macaws and parrots, marvel at freshwater pink dolphins, rare Giant River Otters, jaguar tracks, and gorgeous butterflies. John Wenger is a wildlife biologist/naturalist from Alaska. He holds a B.S. in Biology and Wildlife Conservation and a M.S. in Nature Interpretation from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. He held positions with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Alaska Division of Parks. Off-duty from field projects, he taught classes in ornithology, botany, and wildlife tracking for the University of Alaska Anchorage. Eventually, due to demand, he created and owned a highly successful business leading natural history classes and expeditions for science teachers and nature lovers into Alaska's wilderness. Now retired but active, John leads birding/nature hikes for the Audubon Society. He is often invited to speak at university classes, symposiums, and bird festivals. A current goal is to document the bird species at our preserve and attract world birders. Living part of the year in Cochabamba, he works with researchers at Armonia and FaunAgua, active Bolivian environmental organizations. He invites you to our preserve.
