   I’d like to ask you a question why you never came explore …Portugal’s Douro Valley , created through a collaborative process with local organizations, will highlight the natural, historic, and cultural assets unique to the area. In this partnership, our region benefits from National Geographic’s considerable map-making expertise. But the project could not work without input from people like you who know what makes this place truly unique and noteworthy.

   Are there any ornithologists? Like the two men who photographed all of the birds-of-paradise? Or maybe the woman who studied the club-winged mannikins? Well, for all of the biologists, any advice for an aspiring ornithologist (at the least.)? Thank you!

   would have a question for Mrs. Goodal: If you would have another lifetime to explore whatever you want (other than primates – including humans), what else would be the subject of your study?

   I’d like to ask you a question why you never came explore Portugal, we have plants that only exists here, caves that never been explored, we have a huge area of sea, we also have a rich story which was never rebuilt, we are very little but have not yet been discovered.Why not this time.

   The natural world is such a pretty place, but yet so boundless and full of unexpected surprises. How do you have the courage to step beyond what you know and search for the unknown? Moreso, I’m almost beginning uni and feel kind of directionless with my life at the moment; how did you know this was what you wanted to do? And are there lots of jobs out there like this?

   What will it take to stop the poaching realistically? I read just recently there were so many rhinos slaughtered for their horns. It seems Asian are the worst offenders with so many species of animals, fish, etc. Is it man-power that is needed most, or money, or both?

   Hi Explorers,

   looking forward to Sunday and the chats. My question for the explorer would be:
   When was the moment you realized that dedicating your life to nature and research was the right thing to do?

   Cheers,
   Katrin

    If I had to sum up what I’d like to say to theses explorers in one word It would be “Jealous” Now I am sure that not every day was a picture perfect day in the fields that you three have chosen to pursue as a career path? On the other hand You did not have to punch a time clock the majority of your lives as I have! It seems we humans are a funny breed aren’t we? On one hand we love to serve each other in any fashion of the sense, and on the other hand some days we are at each others throats in a manner of speaking or at least we seem to be at times. I am jealous yes of these Three Explorers because they have seen and been places that I will only ever see from the chair in my living room on my television set which also shows us all the negative news of this ugly world nowadays.More than any one person should have to put up with. So I say Bravo to you Three Wonderful People who brought a smile to my face most times while watching your programs in bewilderment and awe at times also. I would like to tell all Three of you Thank You most sincerely for being so genuine and good at what you have brought to us during your years of work for Nat.Geo. It has been a pleasure watching and I hope that Nat.Geo. Never stops bringing us the world into our homes.
    Thank You All

    My daughter is 8 and showing great interest in animals, even saying that she would like to be a zoologist or a marine biologist. She loves to go to our local zoo and, when we lived near one, Sea World.
    What can I do now, on a reasonable budget, for her at this time, not living in a very “interesting” area for animal study (no jungle, desert, ocean, etc.), to cultivate and support this desire?
    Thank you.

    My question for these fine explorers is this :
    In all your travels, have you noticed global warming having a big impact on life and in what ways? What are the consequences you fear for the future?
