Last year, Kenji Sabine paid more in taxes as an oil and gas industry worker than what he earns in his current role as a wilderness trailblazer, but he's so passionate about it he says he'd do it for free.
Mr Sabine moved from Western Australia after securing a job with the University of Tasmania to deploy 500 trail cameras in rarely accessed landscapes of Tasmania.
He will carry 15 to 25 trail cameras at a time for days or sometimes weeks with the help of a small team to difficult-to-reach locations for wildlife observation.
