Celebrate Nature with Brian Keating
Professional speaker, writer, broadcaster,
international nature tour guide, and naturalist.
Welcome, Nature Enthusiasts!
I have been exploring the world near and far since the young age of 12, when I acquired my first camera and binoculars. I have specialized in both polar regions, various wildlife rich countries in Africa, the Galápagos & Ecuador, and our own Canadian west coast, traveling up to 6 months during the year.
My philosophy? It’s nicely illustrated with the 2-minute video below. Enjoy the adventure!
