Emerson Day is an accomplished photographer, media specialist, educator, conservation advocate, and expedition planner. He has a masters in Exploration Science from the University of Miami, and his experience as a conservationist, field logistics manager, and photographer continues to bring him to unique and critically important spaces. His work and passion for ecology have taken him all over the world, from the mountains of Zambezia in Northern Mozambique, to extended sailing voyages throughout the Caribbean. His approach to expedition planning is narrative-driven, with a strong focus on reintroducing the concepts of intrinsic value and bringing joy to the masses. Emerson is a leader, a team player, and is most at peace when pursuing his passions in the field.
