We live in a time where we have more extinction happening on our planet than since the dinosaurs were wiped out 50 million years ago.

The challenge is that we live in a time where there's a lot of crap on television.

What drives me is that moment of discovery. I love the unknown.

It's the best - combining the mediums of television, documentary, and books, to give you this transmedia experience for kids, for families, and for teachers.

I love people who have died trying to save wildlife. When I see that passion, that gives me hope.

Whether it's exploring the woods around where I grew up, or even today exploring the coastal habitats and environments where I live in New England, or in a remote wilderness we're featuring in one of my series - I love to be in the field and I love to explore.

We live in uncertain times when it comes to the future of life on Earth.
