Lou Gold is a retired founding member of the Siskiyou Project in Oregon, a grassroots environmental group that triggered a worldwide effort to save the wildlands and biodiversity of the Klamath-Siskiyou region. After many years of speaking to enthusiastic audiences across the United States, he became nationally known as the pied piper of ecological idealism. His wilderness tales of bears, owls, fungi and wildfire revealed the secrets of old-growth forest ecology and his tough-minded analysis inspired a generation of citizens to act to end the damage being done to forests worldwide. His message of hope, empowerment and opportunity earned several special recognitions including the Lifetime Achievement Award from LAW (the world's largest environmental law conference) and the Conservation Achievement Award from the National Wildlife Federation.
Since 2002, Lou Gold has been living mostly in Brazil, where he serves on the Board of Directors of CEFLAG (the Santo Daime community in Brasilia) and of AOPA (a grassroots environmental group, also in Brasilia). He has produced thousands of photos of Santo Daime's communities and is continously adding more to his archives at:
