Conservationist and adventurer Peter W. Fong has a hard time keeping still. He's worked as an artist-in-the-schools in Montana, a travel guidebook writer in China, and a flyfishing guide in Mongolia. In 2018, he led an international team of scientists on a thousand-mile expedition to Russia's Lake Baikal. His stories and photographs have appeared in American Fiction, High Country News, the New York Times, and many other publications. He and his wife live with a tortoiseshell cat on the sunny island of Madeira.
