Diana L. Guerrero wears many hats and gets some interesting glances with her new one. The safari hat, complete with animals and birds flying above the treetops, almost attracts as much attention as her new book it was designed to promote.

Guerrero is the author of What Animals Can Teach Us about Spirituality: Inspiring Lessons of Wild & Tame Creatures (SkyLight Paths) and was the featured speaker at the 2nd Annual Run for the Animals & Wildlife Festival at Griffith Park, California.

The benefit was a fundraiser for the Wildlife Waystation. The group rescues, rehabilitates, relocates, and provides sanctuary for native and exotic wildlife needing help. Guerrero's talk was titled, "Cougars, Conservation, and Your Animal Connection."

Guerrero said. "My talk covered how we all fit into the big picture and dealt with some of the concerns the audience had regarding the recent cat sightings nearby. The role of zoos, animal rescues agencies, and sanctuaries has become more complex since the 1970's when I started my career. I remember the Wildlife Waystation from those days when it was a small animal compound. We all have a part in the web of life and understanding it and working together only strengthens the threads."

An innovator, Guerrero is always on the cutting edge of the animal world. She was a contributing editor to the massive, Resources For Crisis Management in Zoos and Other Animal Care Facilities published by the American Association of Zoo Keepers organization in 1999. During the mid-1990's she worked for the San Diego Wild Animal Park and was also an associate in an animal clinic that housed a natural nutritionist for pets, an animal bodywork therapist, a pet reproductive specialist, and a cryobank that collected cells for future cloning.

"I have a diverse list of experiences." She continued, "If I can learn new techniques and implement innovative strategies and benefit animals and their conservation than it is a task worth undertaking." A Los Angeles native and regular visitor to the area, Guerrero now lives in the San Bernardino mountains. She wears many hats: animal behavior consultant to zoos, animal facilities, and pet owners, speaker, and more. Keep your eye out for the feathers in her cap-because there are lots of them!

Guerrero autographed her books immediately following her appearance assisted by two of her favorite fans, Kathy London and Joan Morey. Guerrero is currently on tour break you can find her schedule here.
