Revenue surged 32% from the prior year, signaling strong growth momentum. The organization ran a surplus of $35K, a strong 26% operating margin.
Cloud Ridge Naturalists supports global science and conservation efforts through public education in an award-winning book publishing program, with 3 books published by Cloud Ridge Publishing and 3 books published in partnership with Sasquatch Books/Penguin Random House. In 2019, after 36 years offering an international ecotourism program from the Arctic to the Antarctic we eliminated our group tourism footprint and focus solely on our publishing program as our primary educational outreach.

Book 1: Pacific Flyway: Water Bird Migration from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego (2020, Sasquatch Books, Seattle); authors Audrey DeLella Benedict, Geoffrey A. Hammerson, and Robert W Butler. ISBN: 978-1-63217-134-4 (Library of Congress); Nautilus Silver Award winner in Environmental Nonfiction. The book launch was held in Seattle with presentations at Town Hall and the Burke Museum in February 2020. The Covid-19 shutdown resulted in the cancellation of all book promotional tours and all in-person bookstore sales venues. This situation continued in 2021 and was reflected in poor sales both in stores and online. No royalties are payable from Sasquatch Books/Random House until the total advance against royalities payment of $20,000 has been realized by income for books sold.
