Autorenporträt

Penelope Bodry-Sanders is a noted conservationist and founder of the Lemur Conservation Foundation. Her path to protecting endangered primates was decidedly unconventional and intriguing--from her years as a Dominican nun and a Broadway performer to two decades at the American Museum of Natural History. Each choice along the way honed abilities that enabled her to realize her goal. For more than three decades, she has been a Fellow of the Explorers Club and continues her affiliation with the American Museum of Natural History as a Field Associate. Her debut book, "African Obsession: The Life and Legacy of Carl Akeley," is considered a significant addition to conservation literature. Currently, Penelope is passionately channeling her artistic expression to celebrate undervalued species like lemurs, hyenas, and various invertebrates. Rooted in Aristotle's belief of finding beauty in all creatures, Penelope upholds the conviction that art can alter perceptions about the world and inspire positive change. Fiona Brady is a writer and editor whose fascination with the natural world led her to work at the American Museum of Natural History for eighteen years, most notably in the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation. Before that, she was an editorial staffer at New York, SELF, Health, and TV Guide magazines. She has also stage-managed productions both off and off-off Broadway, helped run a dreidel factory beneath the Manhattan Bridge, and installed climate-resilient green roofs around New York City.
