London to Istanbul (in less than three minutes)

Earlier this year, Jess and I traveled overland from London to Istanbul in search of Europe’s wild places. We used Punkt to track the journey, uploading photos and microblogs along the way. Here’s a superfast slideshow, with around about a photograph from each place we made it to. Enjoy.

Book James for a speaking event:

James is a highly acclaimed public speaker, delivering keynotes, lectures and debates to a wide range of audiences including students, the public, conservation practioners and scientists. Rather than further polarizing already divisive conservation topics, James aims to explain the complexity and nuance of conservation. What we choose to do over the next five decades, will profoundly influence the diversity of life on eath for the next 5 million years. It’s never been a more important, or more exciting time to be a conservationist.
