In From Jersey to the Jungle, Ben Bressler tells the unlikely story of building Natural Habitat Adventures from its start in 1985, with just $600 (and no real business experience), into a global leader in conservation-focused nature travel. Filled with humor, hard lessons and unforgettable travel stories, his story reveals a journey marked less by smooth success and more by persistence through mistakes, setbacks and global challenges. Bressler’s candid voice shows that passion and purpose—not perfect credentials—are what truly drive meaningful success. Today, Nat Hab operates worldwide as the first 100% carbon-neutral travel company and continues to innovate in sustainability, proving that business growth can go hand in hand with conservation and community impact.

All proceeds from this book will be donated to Nat Hab Philanthropy, opens in new tab projects around the world, from wolf research in Yellowstone to support for an all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa.
