The Digital Naturalist

Description:

Amy Marquis, founder and editor of The Digital Naturalist (TDN), is also a writer and editor on the award-winning National Parks magazine, which reaches more than 325,000 members of the National Park Conservation Association. Her love for visual storytelling first bloomed in 2000 as a photo editor on National Wildlife magazine-- but it was her passion for music and film that recently led her to start pushing stories off the printed page. After researching scores of advocacy videos on the internet, she realized she was just one of many trying to understand this new medium. So she created TDN to share her findings and create an open forum where everyone can continue to learn, and where she has been able to hone and expand her skills as a director of short advocacy films. Amy lives in Boulder, Colorado, and also serves as an affiliate with the International League of Conservation Photographers, a fellow with the International League of Conservation Writers, and a freelance multimedia editor for The WILD Foundation.
