Over the course of another busy year of reporting for mongabay.com, I spent nearly four months on the road, visiting nine countries and adding more than 10,000 new photos to the site.
Most of my pictures this year are from Indonesia (two trips: North Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Bali in May and Papua, West Papua, and Bali in July and August), Colombia (Amazon, Darien, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Tayrona, and Chicaque in March), Mexico (COP16 in Cancun and nearby areas in December), Kauai (November), and California (various trips around the Bay Area throughout the year).
Jeremy Hance, mongabay.com’s other primary writer, spent two weeks in Ecuador. Although his pictures have not yet been posted on the site, two are included in the highlights below, which are randomly placed.
2011 is expected to be another full year of travel, reporting, and photos.
Best wishes for the new year!
