Freelance writer Wendee Holtcamp covers science, conservation and adventure travel, which takes her to the far reaches of the globe — from the Himalayan foothills of Nepal in search of endangered red panda, to the Peruvian Amazon to report on community-based conservation with Yine Amerindians, to the Galapagos Islands to write about carbon-neutral travel. She grew up, in part, in a rustic log cabin in the Oregon woods with a hippie dad, which inspired her love of the outdoors.

Holtcamp earned a M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from Texas A&M University in 1995, and has been publishing since then in magazines such as National Wildlife, Audubon, Smithsonian, Sierra, and Scientific American, as well as Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, and Animal Planet Online. Based in Houston, she also writes regularly about Texas water, wildlife and environmental issues for Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine, and is working on a memoir about making peace between evolution and Christianity. Wendee also blogs for Animal Planet.
