Zachary H.B. Wells

is a writer, conservationist, climber, and music addict. He grew up to hippy parents who moved the family from Long Island to a farm in West Virginia to escape the rat race, having successfully assured the landowners they weren’t about to start a commune (or cult).

For two decades plus, ZHBW has been living in or traveling the tropics, supporting Indigenous and local communities to protect some of the most important places on earth for biodiversity, climate and culture. After a stint of too many years in DC, he relocated to the desert where he lives with his wife, Annie, and their daughter.
