About me

Hello, I’m Rob, founder of Cloud Forest Discovery.

After moving to Costa Rica to pursue my passion for wildlife photography and conservation, I wanted to create something that went beyond sharing my photos on Instagram. With your support, I hope to give back to this incredible country through conservation, volunteer work, and donations that help protect the wildlife and nature that inspire my work.

Every product features my original photography and designs, created by me, not AI. When you support Cloud Forest Discovery, you’re not only supporting an independent photographer and small business, but also helping me turn my passion for wildlife into something that gives back.

Our mission is simple: inspire people to “Discover More”. We want to encourage others to learn more about nature and wildlife, explore the world around them, and in the process discover more about themselves.

Cloud Forest Discovery pledges to donate 5% of every sale to rainforest and wildlife conservation organizations in Costa Rica. As the company grows, our goal will be to pledge more.

Cloud Forest Discovery T-Shirt | Toucanet
$29.99

A soft, lightweight crew tee featuring a Northern Emerald Toucanet from San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica. The muted ink and heathered fabric give the shirt an aged, outdoorsy feel, subtle enough for everyday wear, but expressive enough that it can still spark meaningful conversations. This shirt is breathable; it moves with you and layers easily under jackets or over thermal shirts. Wear it on misty morning hikes, birding adventures, or when you want to carry a bit of the cloud forest with you into the city.
