He began to connect with the birds and struggled to kill the individuals in the name of science.

Adam talks about how these images still haunt him to this day.

Adam's research now focuses on compassionate conservation and the use of new technology to educate people and allow them to connect with animals . He is extremely motivated and passionate about creating a kinder world for animals.
