Damon Ramsey's personal aim in life is to experience as much nature and wildlife on our planet as he can.  His professional aim is to promote nature and wildlife through his books, articles, documentaries, lectures, website and guiding.

He completed his biology degree at Charles Darwin University, Northern Territory, and James Cook University at Townsville and Cairns, north Queensland.  Previous to this he gained his qualifications in Outdoor, Adventure and Interpretative Guiding in the Blue Mountains, southeastern Australia. These courses led to a range of research assistant experiences, with rainforest plants, bandicoots, finches, bats, butterflies and cassowaries.
