Ecovision Credentials
Written by Anthony Mills, April 1999
The background to the Ecovision concept discusses my experience in the design and implementation of guided ecological walks. I believe that my formal training at university has provided me with a diverse skill set that is suited for interpreting ecology to ecotourists. Ecology is an incredibly broad topic and requires an understanding of fields as diverse as zoology, botany, geology, geography, soil science and even chemistry to create a holistic picture of how nature is operating. I covered all of these topics in detail during my university years. My university history is outlined below:
