column for The Boston Globe for 13 years. A former writer and producer for
CNN, she has been a contributing reporter for the National Public Radio
environment show Living on Earth covering everything from gorilla
conservation to a coyote vasectomy.
She consults on film and television projects, most recently a two-hour
documentary on gorillas for the A&E channel. Croke is the author of "The
Modern Ark: The Story of Zoos-Past, Present and Future," and has also
written for Time, People, The Washington Post, Popular Science, O, The
Oprah Magazine, Gourmet, National Wildlife, Discover, International Wildlife,
The London Sunday Telegraph, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
