"In a world of climate change and human encroachment on the natural world," he says, "better understanding the creatures with whom we share the earth--even when we can't easily see them--is critical. Finding animals, learning about them, and understanding why they hide from predators like us is essential to caring for the planet in today's world." Marc Martin lives in Melbourne, Australia.
