About

I’ve been working in nature conservation for over 20 years and am passionate about protecting endangered ecosystems and species. I focus on creating and managing reserves that benefit both nature and local communities – from clean air and water to jobs and the joy of wild places. My goal is to find simple, cost-effective solutions to help preserve biodiversity for the future
