Summary
Author Biography
Christina Colón has two great passions in life: nature and travel. She has been everywhere from Borneo (where she lived for 2 years tracking wild animals) to Belize (where she did her master’s thesis in a jaguar preserve). With a Ph.D. in ecology, a master’s in environmental education, and adjunct positions at several universities, she is a scientist and an educator, as well as an author. When she is not exploring a tropical rainforest or an exotic island, she can be found in the Bronx, where she loves to seek the wilder side of the borough. In addition to scientific and academic texts, she has contributed to numerous travel guides, including Frommer’s Portable Aruba and The New York Times Guide to New York City.
