An advocate for wildlife and nature conservation, I write about plants, animals, and natural landscapes. My experiences with the vegetation ecology of North American deserts, forests, and coasts have made it clear that disastrous changes are occurring. I write and blog to draw attention to what’s going on and encourage others to join in the defense of nature. I've published two novels with an #ecoscifi theme. A third #ecoscifi novel is underway, and I've begun a series of "Roadside Biology" guides for travelers. I publish three online news digests on the Atmosphere, the Biosphere, and the Human Population Problem.

Science fiction with a nature theme. June 19, 2013 "Writers and reviewers sometimes refer to books with a nature conservation theme as Eco Fiction with or without a space or a hyphen. The term seems perfectly appropriate for books like Ant Hill, and Edward Abbey’s Monkey Wrench Gang. The term is also applied to speculative fiction such as Frank Herbert’s Dune and The Green Brain. A lifelong fan of science fiction, I have always been fond of such stories. To help distinguish them, I am introducing the hashtag #EcoSciFi. I haven’t seen this hashtag anywhere yet, but it seems like a useful term, at least for readers who like science fiction and have interests in conservation. Adding the #EcoSciFi tag will help identify Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter references to books and stories that fit within this sub-genre."--Garry Rogers
