Gary Markowski

Gary first traveled to Cuba in the mid-1990s to meet with staff at Cuba’s National Museum of Natural History to investigate ways to become involved with conservation initiatives in Cuba. A fledgling group of authorized U.S. citizens arrived the next winter. Since then, the bird survey program has involved hundreds of ‘citizen scientists’, as well as dozens of U.S. and Cuban ornithologists, field biologists, and educators who have contributed to this effort. Gary’s 30 years of experience in the fields of environmental and experiential education, outdoor leadership and adventure travel provide the foundation for CCT’s success in Cuba.
