Ever since I was a child, I have been very interested in these topics, and I try to keep current with all relevant issues such as energy, climate change, biodiversity conservation, ecotourism, sustainability,
etc. I have a B.S. degree in wildlife biology, and have worked as a zookeeper, wildlife biologist, and ecologist. I am conducting a brief survey of world leaders, government officials, religious leaders,
corporate CEOs, environmental groups, wildlife experts, and others regarding nature and the environment. I am also very interested in religious views, customs, and beliefs from around the world, and the interactions between religion, culture, society, and the environment.

This is something I am doing out of personal interest, and is not connected to any group or organization. I have been working on this project since the summer of 2006, and to date have gotten back almost 900 responses. I have gotten responses from scientists, environmentalists, religious leaders, schoolchildren, villagers in Nairobi, a few world leaders, and many more. There is no deadline for the project, so please feel free to take your time in responding if you need to.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to answer my survey. The
responses are being posted online at the blog I created for the project, http://earthsurvey.blogspot.com.  In the future, I hope to do something more with the results, such as a book or documentary, although as of right now I am not sure of the format or timeline for that.

You can access the survey online at http://tinyurl.com/nx4ng7 or if you prefer, I can send you the questions in an email message as well.

Contact information will not be included- only your name and title/organization will be posted. I am more interested in personal views, not necessarily official statements, and there is a disclaimer
on the site that states that the views expressed are personal and not to be taken as official views. Should you prefer to remain anonymous, I can do that as well.

Please distribute this as widely as you can, as I am very interested in getting responses from members of the local community, business leaders, government officials, religious leaders,
etc., and I appreciate any assistance you can offer in getting this in as many hands as possible! If you have a newsletter or local paper that would be willing to post my project information, that would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to make this a global project involving people on all levels.

Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you!  Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions or comments about this.  I can be reached at jeremyjtaylor@yahoo.com
