Adam Welz

Adam is a Pretoria-born writer and wildlife conservation consultant whose work appears in international publications like The Guardian, The Atlantic and Yale Environment 360. He studied life sciences and economics at Rhodes and UCT and has worked on four continents in diverse jobs including delivery truck driver, English teacher, field ornithologist and photographic artist.

Adam is an old-school naturalist and proficient birder who will debate you over anything (because specialisation is for insects). He now lives in Cape Town where he breeds endangered fish and grows fynbos plants while raising triplet daughters with his wife, Sarah.
