promoting conservation of biodiversity through the scientific study of tarsiers

media . . .

I have been fortunate to have been a part of several documentaries about tarsiers produced for television, starting in July, 1997, working with Tigress Productions’ “Wild Indonesia”, and most recently with the BBC on their 10-part series for 2009, “Life”.

I have also made numerous video sequences on my own, some of which I will be posting here in the near future.
