Anthony Ham

Writing

Anthony is one of Australia’s most experienced nature and travel writers with extensive experience in writing both long- and short-form narrative features and guidebooks. His feature articles range from in-depth analysis of current news events and travel stories to feature-length articles on wildlife, wild places and the traditional people who inhabit those wild places.

Conservation & Wildlife

Anthony writes regularly about issues that range from endangered species and indigenous peoples to extinction and the disappearance of wilderness. In doing so, he regularly visits and brings back stories from some of the last wild places on earth, especially in Africa, Europe and Outback Australia. His particular areas of expertise include big-cat conservation and the interaction between wildlife and human communities.
