Biographical Information

"After a short-service commission in the army, Simon's path in conservation became clear when travelling through Kenya in 1969 and after two years' training, he joined the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers. He retired as Director to join Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Jersey, where he remained for 23 years. He remarried in 1999 and moved to England to be near his daughters and parents, gaining an MSc at Bath, aged 55. Karen's work led them to DR Congo for three years, when the charity, Conservation Works, was founded, which Simon directs. His connection with IofC began with the Forum for the Preservation of the Creation, at Caux, 1995."
