I for one support all environmental movements (except extremists) a
great deal of the money I earn goes into protecting what I record be
it habitat or critters. I would say I contribute thousands of dollars
each year.
Local and national groups benefit from my work including overseas. My
work also gets donated to universities, museums and schools. Unlike
many musicians who take from the industry (and yes there are givers
too) I believe the art gives back ten fold. (If there is no habitat we
are out of work, right)
The BBC gives thousands of dollars out each year to conservation and
people awareness.
I travel to many places funded by myself to capture the shrinking
world and what I give back from that is education. Apart from all that
All money I collect from my website sales goes to animal and
conservation organizations.
Look at the work Bernie puts into the community!
