Plight of the Everglades

Joel Curzon is a Harvard-educated lawyer turned award-winning photographer, author and environmentalist at heart. Joel grew up primarily in Utah, where the southern Wasatch Mountains look out over the Great Basin. In college he majored in physics and studied philosophy, graduating magna cum laude in 1995; he later attended Harvard Law School, from which he graduated in 1999. After practicing law for several years in Silicon Valley, Joel ceased full-time practice in 2003 in order to focus on writing and photography. Curzon began his photographic work in the Everglades in 2002, and subsequently spent years exploring, studying, documenting and photographing the Everglades region. Our discussion today will highlight the Florida Everglade region, changes to the eco-system and threats to the health of the area. We will learn proactive information as to how we may be able to help the situation, and save innumerable species from extinction. – Browse the guest’s site at: www.lightfading.com and the host’s site at: www.brummet.ca
