Is conservation only about the big things, such as lions, tigers, and bears? Oh my … certainly not! Moffett’s goal is to inspire his audiences to care about the obscure creatures: romantically inclined Sri Lankan spiders or dancing Brazilian frogs, 100-foot-wide (30.5-meter-wide) swarms of bloodthirsty army ants of Ghana or the multicolored “Doctor Seuss” flies of New Guinea. No one else knows these stories firsthand or can convey them with Moffett’s enthusiasm.
From Malaysia to the Amazon to the Congo, Moffett has worked in the crowns of the world’s tallest trees, where most of the world’s biodiversity lies, pursuing orangutans and canopy bears or finding rare orchids and insects—work that he details in his book, The High Frontier: Exploring the Tropical Rainforest Canopy (Harvard Press).
Moffett describes how risk-taking, trust, and teamwork contribute to his success. Working with poisonous subjects, including the world’s most deadly organism—a rarely seen frog in a remote valley in Colombia (one touch can kill)—the term “risk-taking” carries more weight than usual. In this presentation he seeks to inspire the next generation of tropical explorers with the insights he has gained about the beauty, architecture, and conservation of these towering arboreal communities.
