I and my twin sister were born in Vancouver, Canada many years before the Second World War. During the war my family and I suffered internment for several years. The government sold our family’s dry-cleaning business and my father was forced to work in a labor camp.
Despite my troubled beginnings, I went on to earn a BA and eventually a Ph.D in Zoology in 1961. I remained a professor in zoology for 40 years at the University of British Columbia.
During this time, I used my knowledge and passion for nature to develop several radio programmes and TV shows. Since 1979, my science and nature show has aired in over 50 countries and was pushed with the aim of increasing awareness on climate change, a sustainable society and renewable resources.
I am world renown for being an active campaigner on climate change and a strong believer in the Kyoto Accord.
Several generations have grown up with my science and environmental programs and I am dedicated to make a difference. My four-part series; The Sacred Balance focuses on humanity’s place in nature.
