Naturalist Guide Damon Ramsey

Damon Ramsey

Damon Ramsey works as a biologist guide leading general nature, wildlife and education trips.
His broad aim in life has been to experience as many ecosystems and observe as much wildlife on our planet as he can.
This has taken him to Central America, South America, the United States, southern Africa, India, South-east Asia, the South Pacific, and of course all the states of Australia.

This love of travel and wildlife has come together to result in a career of Natural History interpretation. To qualify for such work, he studied a two year Advanced Certificate in Outdoor Guiding in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. He then completed his biology degree (majoring in Zoology) at Australia's only two tropical universities in Darwin and Cairns.
This has also led to field assistant experience in various scientific projects, with the subjects ranging from butterflies to bandicoots, cassowaries, rainforest tree ecology, sea turtles, goannas, finches, bats, frogs, wading birds and plant surveys.

As a guide he has led various trips, including aboriginal rock art tours, 4WD bush tours, hikes, bicycle, student and wildlife trips.

However, his specialty is wildlife, biology and nature based tours. He has given lectures on biodiversity for alumni groups, as well as marine biology, ecology and ornithology lectures on board expedition ships, and a series of lectures on wildlife tourism at James Cook University.
He has also produced a series of booklets to Australian and Pacific ecosystems that were used in guide training and are now used in tours and various lodges around the region, with subjects ranging from Tropical Rainforest to Tropical Seashores.

More recently, he has set up 'Damon Ramsey Nature Guides'. This company has a website for information about different ecosystems,
conducts tours and study programs, and is producing the Nature Guide booklets. Damon also contracts out for Zoo, Education and Bird-watching trips around Australia. 
He is based in Cairns, North Queensland.
