ABOUT THE CLUB
James Fowler, one of the world's best-known naturalists, has educated the American public about wildlife and wilderness through television and public appearances for more than thirty years. He served with Marlin Perkins first as co-host and later as host of one of the pioneering series of wildlife television, "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom". He also hosted "Mutual of Omaha's Spirit of Adventure" and is well-known for his appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. In addition, Fowler has kept an energetic schedule of public appearances at schools and wildlife organizations around the country. Fowler graduated with degrees in zoology and geology from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, and is internationally recognized as an authority on predatory birds. He pursued a graduate degree by conducting the first studies of the world's largest eagle, the harpy, in the wilds of the Amazon, and later tracked the movements of the Andean condor in Peru. His studies were interrupted by a career in travel and television. Since then he has worked with many wildlife and conservation projects throughout the world. He recently was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws, Honoris Causa, from Earlham College. Educator and spokesperson, Fowler's goal is to be an effective advocate for the natural world and to find new ways of reaching families and children to help them understand that wildlife and wilderness are important to their lives. His first book, Jim Fowler's Wildest Places on Earth, was published by Time-Life and Mutual of Omaha's Wildlife Heritage Center in the fall of 1993.
