A three part series "A Naturalist's To-Do List," with Kevin Cook will present one nature-
related or wildlife-specific problem each month and conclude by presenting a proposal for
solving that problem. The third program in this series will discuss "Here Kitty Kitty! Where Are You?"
Nothing so clearly defines the character of human thought as do pet cats. They charm our emotional aspect, whereas decades of research ignite our intellectual aspect. Specifically, cats cause an alarming ecological problem that demands we shift from regarding them emotionally to managing them intellectually.
Cook taught seminars at Rocky Mountain National Park, the Rocky Mountain Nature Association and was with the Rocky Mountain Conservancy for about 27 years. He has been presenting nature programs since 1993. "As we continue learning, we acquire new information that collectively expands our knowledge about Life on Earth. What we know today vastly out-measures what we knew a generation ago.
Knowledge becomes the only meaningful, productive way for addressing problems that arise
from confrontations between Humanity and the rest of Life. Problems present the option for any
of four different reactions: ignore them; acknowledge them; talk about them; or solve them.
