Alain Clavette studied biology at the Université de Moncton and settled in l’Acadie, New Brunswick in 1990. He has worked as a park interpreter for Parks Canada in 3 of our Maritimes National Parks for 6 years.
Since then, he has had the chance to work with his passion for birds either as a guide during walks or organized tours. He has participated in several bird documentaries including the movie MIGRATION with his good personal friend Cajun singer Zachary Richard in 2005; a film that won the first prize at the Ménigoute Ornithological Film Festival in France. He was also in the very first episode of Fou des Oiseaux with Pierre Verville; a tv series that got very popular with francophone birders all over Canada.
Alain has also hosted a weekly birding column on CBC Radio in New Brunswick for over 12 years.
For the past 8 years, he has organized the GREAT PELAGIC BONANZA, a birding excursion to observe seabirds from Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy. He also acted as a guide for several famous travel writers and professional photographers.
Alain is also an accomplished wildlife photographer with a few exhibits under his belt. Some of his photos were even published by National Geographic UK.
