Noted coral reef authority, Australian Len Zell is the perfect person to guide you around the
Australian coastline. He has worked in and around the world's reefs for more
than 25 years and is actively involved in their protection.
Skilled in lecturing, underwater photography, videography and maritime archaeology, he has developed numerous ecotourism programs for coral reefs and islands. He has conducted field research and educational programs in many parts of the world, including all of the Great Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea, The Line Islands, French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Wallis, Futuna and
Niue, the Red Sea, Mediterranean and Caribbean. Len has also managed to visit
remote Pitcairn and Easter Island.
Len was Chairman of Dive Qld for two years during which time he represented them overseas as well as domestically, has served on the Council of the Australian College For Seniors and chaired and been on the committee of many other organisations. At the University of Queensland he established AustraLearn and TraveLearn
and has lectured to TAFE, university and adult educational groups.
Author Review
Recasting the mould of the
eco-tourism book in Australia, Len Zell looks about him and finds the world is
absolutely fascinating, then he tells us about it with zest. He also gives us
his own photographs, colourful, skilfully shot, and engrossing.
He zooms in and out, and not just with his cameras. His approach is
multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary. His Wild Discovery Guides on reefs,
coasts, deserts and inland Australia, are written from an informed blend of
geology, climate, human history, ecology and biology.
He waxes deeply about safety too, as his readers find as they explore Australia
for themselves. He ensures you think and ideally know about safety in outback or
underwater experiences, specific dangers to avoid, ways to avoid further harm to
the environment or selves. (He believes people travelling in remote areas should
use the best in communication systems.)
And he cares passionately about the environment, now and for the future. Not
just Zell, but his expertly-informed co-authors and associates in museums,
government departments, all committed to expanding eco-tourism opportunities in
Australia with minimal or no impact. All this is why Zell is in demand as a
guest speaker on cruise ships, outback treks and as a consultant for
documentaries. His position as an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Marine and Tropical
Biology at James Cook University also extends his networks and capacities.
Zell is a prolific writer, illustrator and publisher with more than ten books to
his credits and more on the way. If you are travelling to the areas he writes
about, in most detail eg. Australian Deserts, Ningaloo Reef, Kimberley Coast,
Shark Bay, WA's Outback Pathways, Great Barrier Reef, and want to extract the
best from your discoveries, an investment in his books will be repaid with a
heightened experience in every respect.
In addition, the well-illustrated Wild Discovery Guides fit neatly into
backpacks, glove boxes, or any large pocket as appropriate for their expected
use. They are thoughtfully planned, useful and practical productions, a very
tasty coverage from his own visits to the areas he loves and shares with us.
Combine all this and his spectacular images with the astute use of helpful maps
and diagrams, including satellite photographs, and a sense of humour of the
"been-there, learn about it and love-that" variety, and you'll soon see why the
Zell recipe for his Wild Discoevry Guides as eco-tourism books is recasting the
mould for the genre. This writer's obvious zest is downright infectious.
