Dan Eatherley is a naturalist, writer and environmental consultant. His latest book - Invasive Aliens - has been named a Book of the Year by The Sunday Times and The Daily Telegraph. Back in 1995, with a first class zoology degree from Oxford University under his belt, Dan headed for Bristol, UK, the centre for natural history TV production with fantasies of filming on tropical islands. Dan went on to make a variety of documentaries for the BBC, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, including as assistant producer on two series hosted by Sir David Attenborough, Life of Mammals and Planet Earth. Along the way he worked in swamps, deserts and jungles around the world. He was almost been blown up by Krakatau volcano. He encouraged a dead salmon to spawn in ice-cold water. He (twice) provided moral support to ducklings as they leapt forty feet to the ground from a tree hole. Dan has also written more than 100 articles on science and environmental issues for New Scientist, Scientific American, BBC Wildlife, The Guardian, History Today, The New York Post and The Conversation. Dan's first book, Bushmaster: Raymond Ditmars and the Hunt for the World's Largest Viper, (2015, Arcade: New York City) was described by Desmond Morris as "a fascinating book about a fascinating man" and by Steve Backshall as "an intriguing read". When not searching for giant venomous reptiles and invasive species, Dan conducts research on environmental issues for the UK government, the European Commission and the UN Environment Programme. He is currently a senior research fellow at the University of Exeter Business School.
