Christian Cooper is a New York Times best-selling author, with his debut memoir, Better Living Through Birding. He is also the host and a consulting producer for National Geographic TV's hit series "Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper." Practically born with a pair of binoculars in his hands, he served as president of the Harvard Ornithological Club in his college days. Currently, as a vice president of NYC Audubon, he advocates for greater, safer access to green spaces for all, with a focus on outreach to youth in underserved communities. A longtime activist on issues of racial justice and LGBTQ equality, Christian Cooper combined his passions in the BLM graphic short story "It’s a Bird” from DC Comics. He continues to seek synergy at the intersections of storytelling, progressivism, and environmentalism.
“Christian Cooper’s book is every bit as wondrous and captivating as the birds he so adores - a joyous tour across subcultures and continents, and a masterful account of a life full of song, full of heart, and fully lived.” - Ed Yong, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of An Immense World
“An uplifting and inspiring read. Christian Cooper is a national treasure.” - Van Jones, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Van Jones Show
