Author Biography
Dan Brown has led a life full of nature. He grew up in Treborth Botanic Garden, Bangor, surrounded by wildlife from the word go. His father, the curator of the botanic garden and lecturer in plant biology and ecology at the university, and his mother, encouraged him endlessly and his passion for nature soared.Before long Dan was birding, moth-trapping, and recording dragonflies and damselflies, and looking for mammals throughout North Wales. The botanic garden represented the perfect place to explore and learn about nature as well as look after animals, from a family of orphaned foxes to Tawny Owls, Fulmars and numerous Hedgehogs. By the time Dan had reached his teens he was already undertaking research on a huge local Raven roost which contributed towards him receiving a Young Wildlife Champion of the Year award through BBC Wildlife Magazine. At 18 he retraced Shackleton's footsteps in the Antarctic, from Elephant Island to South Georgia with the British Exploring Society and it was only a natural progression that Dan should go on to study Ecology at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. Here in this hub of ecological study and all round natural history mecca Dan met plenty of like-minded people which led to expeditions to Madagascar, joining Sunbird tours, setting up his own consultancy and now running the successful BiOME Consulting, a mix of research, consultancy and conservation.
