Resumes
Carlo Ferraro
Carlo Ferraro was born in Italy in 1944, but has made his whole life in Venezuela where he emigrated with his parents in 1949. He was a lecturer at the Universidad Simón Bolívar in Caracas for 25 years. He retired in 1995, to devote himself to what he loves most: Nature. Carlo began his career as a photographer in 1975 and in 1993 published Venezuela, Paradise for Birds. Since then, he's developed a prolific career producing hundreds of documentaries in many different areas, especially Nature, Wildlife and Ecotravel, on land and underwater, for TV and Cable, for Tourism operations and for the web. Some of his recent works can be seen in his website. Among his achievements are more than 350 species of birds and over 120 of hummingbirds, mammals, reptiles, invertebrates and marine life. He is a cornerstone for productions seeking this sort of footage from this part of South America and the Caribbean. The recent new section Education is a contribution to the knowledge and conservation to future generations. It has been such a hit that visits to this website increased from just over two thousands in January 2009 to over 12.000 in december 2009. We hope sales rise from the ashes practically zero these past two years to a level that help him to continue his work in conservation. A new working destination is in the horizon, now relocated in Australia with a Bridging Visa in the process of a Residency by the end of 2011.
