Renegade zoologist, intrepid explorer, and television presenter. Ross has been in love with life in all its forms for as long as he can remember. His passion started with insects and spiders, led him through university (a prize-winning degree in zoology at the University of Wales, and a PhD in insect ecology at University of Leeds), and blossomed recently in his latest book: Animal Earth. It’s a stunning book, eye-popping and ranges from the dazzlingly beautiful to the truly bizarre.

Ross has traveled extensively on at least five continents, led a BBC expedition in Burma in 2013, and has an infectious enthusiasm for things that grow.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
