Entry #12: The Secret Behind Transylvania's Biodiversity with Toby Farman
Toby Farman is Opwall's Systems Manager and the Country Manager for our Romania expeditions. Toby originally studied biotechnology, but an Opwall trip in 2007 sparked his passion for travel. After graduating, Toby traveled the world for 2 years with nothing more than a backpack. Rather than settle down upon his return, Toby began working for Opwall and went on to manage projects in Mozambique, South Africa, and now Transylvania. In this episode, we discuss what makes Transylvania so special for wildlife, how bears, hay meadows, and traditional agriculture fit together within the mosaic of hills and valleys that define the Transylvanian region, and what the rest of the world can learn from this special place.
