David Suzuki is one of the world's most recognizable and influential environmentalists. In a long and distinguished public career, he has, perhaps more than almost anyone else, raised public consciousness about environmental issues and inspired massive efforts to preserve and protect our natural world. He has made it his life's work to help humanity understand, appreciate, respect and protect nature.

A gifted interpreter of science and nature, Suzuki provides audiences with a compelling look at the state of our environment, underscoring both the successes we have achieved in the battle for environmental sustainability, and the strides we still have to make if Earth will remain a welcoming home for all nature's creatures. Both inspiring and realistic, he offers leading-edge insights into sustainable development and model for a world in which humanity can live well and still protect our environment.

A world-renowned academic and broadcaster, Dr Suzuki has spent the past 40 years educating the public about environmental issues, both in the classroom and over the airwaves, most notably on his show, The Nature of Things. It's a role that places him alongside the likes of Carl Sagan and Jacques Cousteau. David Suzuki is an award-winning biologist who has has pioneered efforts in sustainable ecology. For his work he has received a UNESCO Prize for Science, as well as the United Nations Environmental Medal. His best-selling books include Good News For A Change: How Everyday People are Helping The Planet, Genethics: The Clash Between the New Genetics and Human Values, and The David Suzuki Reader. He is currently Professor Emeritus in Zoology at The University of British Columbia.
