Cam is a Campaigns Co-ordinator for Friends of the Earth (FoE), and has worked for them since 1989. He has worked on forestry, mining, corporate activity, climate change and anti nuclear campaigns and has travelled widely in his work with FoE International. He currently lectures part time at the school of Social Science and Planning at RMIT University in Melbourne.

Cam's Recommendations:

"When many people think of rainforest, they tend to visualise of steamy tropical jungle. For me, I dream of the cool temperate forests that exist up high in mountains or a long way north or south of the equator. My recommendations reflect this pre-occupation, which is not to say all those tropical wonderlands aren't equally amazing. It also tends to focus on Australia – which is better known for being hot and dry – but still has some pockets of rainforest unlike anything else on the planet."
