Tony Povilitis is a wildlife biologist, conservation activist, and founder of Life Net Nature, a “mom and pop” nonprofit devoted to wildlife research, voluntarism, and advocacy. For more than a half century, Tony has witnessed ongoing destruction of wildlife and nature in numerous countries. His conclusion: Efforts to mitigate human impacts have fundamentally failed. The only sane way forward is to vastly scale down humanity’s exploitation of nature, consumption, and population. His book “Slipping through our hands, imperiled wildlife of the Greater San Juans” appeared in 2000. Tony has spent a good part of his professional career working to study and protect the Andean Deer called the Huemul.
