Balazs Buzas
I am a Hungarian zoologist and started my carrier as a big cat keeper at the Budapest Zoo at the age of 14. Then (in 1996) I joined the expeditions of the Hungarian Natural History Museum and worked for their Mammals Collection for 4 years. I was a head keeper in the Rare Species Conservation in Kent, United Kingdom then moved to the United Arab Emirates and worked as a zoo manager in the Al Mayya Sanctuary, Fujairah until 2022. Here I got involved in marine research and established the first comprehensive study on cetaceans in the Emirate of Fujairah. Published more than 2200 of my own images, I have authored hundreds of popular and scholarly articles (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Balazs-Buzas-2). I also occasionally act as a producer for Joel Sartore’s National Geographic Photo Ark. The Whales and Dolphins of Fujairah and the Arabian region is my most recent book, which I co-authored with my friend, Robert Baldwin. Order your copy from here: https://booksarabia.com/books/science-and-nature/whales-and-dolphins-of-fujairah.html The book on the Mammals of Fujairah is under preparation. I have been planning and leading adventure tours and organising expeditions for museums since 2000 and visited 110 countries on 6 continents. Webpage: halazsbuzas.com
