Anthony Marr holds a science degree and has worked as a field geophysicist and an environmental technologist. In 1995, he became a full-time wildlife preservationist, which has brought him to India three times, earning him the title of the "Champion of the Bengal Tiger" in the [Champions of the Wild] TV series aired in 20 countries. As found of Heal Our Planet Earth he has conducted high profile campaigns in Canada for the bears and seals, and been to Japan twice for the whales and dolphins.

Whether protecting tiger reserves in India, risking his life in undercover investigations of the illegal trade in endangered species parts, challenging any and all forms of hunting, hosting a radio show, writing visionary books on science, philosophy, and cosmology, embarking on marathon coast-to-coast Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions, covering dozens of US states, or mobilizing scientific research to awaken the complacent of the imminent dangers of irreversible ecological crisis, Anthony Marr is raising awareness, effectively campaigning and blazing new trails. For anyone skeptical of what one person can do alone, or in a strategic alliance with others, or what can be accomplished without large bankrolls...look no further." -Anthony Marr winning the [Best All-Around Activist] award presented by N.I.O.
