AS it turned out, young Daniel never outgrew the enchantment of the mysterious Yeti, the Abominable Snowman. His search for the enigmatic creature of Himalayan legends spread over many decades: from 1956 until 2015, Daniel C. Taylor visited almost all valley systems in his quest to explain the ‘Yeti’s footprints’. But to his surprise, solving the footprint mystery did not answer the Yeti question. As his quest evolved, Taylor went on to create two massive national parks around Mount Everest.Equipped with abundant knowledge of the Himalaya, Taylor tells a story that is captivating and full of surprises. He looks back at his exploration of the 2,000-mile-wide Himalaya and talks about bio resilience as a parallel dynamic to biodiversity, thus widening the scope of our understanding of ecology.Yeti: The Ecology of a Mystery is the extraordinary story of one man’s conservation impact and what it means for people to be part of the wild in today’s increasingly tamed world.

Daniel C. Taylor is currently President, Future Generations University (www.future.edu), having also started the global family of seven Future Generations organizations (www.future.org). Earlier, he led The Mountain Institute (www.mountain.org). He has his master’s and doctoral degrees from Harvard University. In recognition of his conservation work he was knighted Gorkha Dakshin Bau III by the King of Nepal, made Honorary Professor of Quantitative Ecology by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and decorated with the Order of the Golden Arc by Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands.
