Osha Gray Davidson is an author who writes on topics such as human rights, the environment, and energy, among other social issues. He has written at least half a dozen works of non-fiction in addition to more than 100 articles on different topics.

When he worked for Rolling Stone magazine, he wrote about the environment, and when he was at Forbes, he was the go-to guy on all matters of renewable energy. He has also had some of his features in the likes of Mother Jones, InsideClimate News, Salon, Grist, and the Washington Post, among others.

Osha co-wrote the screenplay for Coral Reef Adventure, the IMAX documentary, which was the most commercially successful documentary film of 2003. His feature writing has won him several nominations, including the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism and the Natural World Book Award.

Davidson makes his home in Phoenix, Arizona, and writes about renewable energy for The Phoenix Sun. He is a Fellow of the Center for Human Rights at the University of Iowa and is a member of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

In his 1996 published work The Best of Enemies, Osha Gray Davidson traces the friendship between the well-known black activist Ann Atwater and the ranking member of the Ku Klux Klan, Claiborne Paul C.P. Ellis.

They both lived in Durham, North Carolina, and frequently clashed during the 196os at the peak of the civil rights movement. When both were selected to serve on a school desegregation committee, they found that they had a lot in common.

Their initially tense relationship soon turned into a passionate friendship founded on genuine respect and affection.

Two years later, Davidson published the work The Enchanted Braid in which he explores the condition of some of the most famous coral reef systems across the globe.

Many of the systems are under threat from modern developments, some of which are ecotourism resorts. Others have been destroyed by the use of cyanide and dynamite by the fishing industry, sometimes resulting in irreparable damage.

The author combines documentary research with first-hand experience as a traveller to make a case for why we need to fight harder to preserve the remaining coral reefs.

Passionate about ecology and marine life, he published Fire in the Turtle House in 2001.

In this book, he looks into the work done by veterinarians, marine biologists, and scientists as they try to prevent turtles from going extinct. He follows the fates of several turtles who have distinct personalities, even as he explores man’s dependence on the sea and how sometimes humans can cause the extinction of thousands of species.
