Christian Cooper became a New York Times best-selling author with his 2023 debut memoir, Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World. He is also the host and a consulting producer for National Geographic’s hit series Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper.
Practically born with a pair of binoculars in his hands, Cooper served as president of the Harvard Ornithological Club in his college days. As a current vice president of New York City Audubon he advocates for greater and safer access to green spaces for all, with a focus on outreach to youth in underserved communities. A longtime activist on issues of racial justice and LGBTQIA+ equality, Cooper combined his passions in the BLM graphic short story “It’s a Bird” from DC Comics, and he continues to seek synergy at the intersections of storytelling, progressivism, and environmentalism.
