Career description After graduating I stayed at the Fitztitute to co-ordinate a Gamebird Research Programme, largely funded by the African Gamebird Research, Education and Development Trust (AGRED). I was the editor for the South African Wildlife Management Association’s journal South African Journal of Wildlife Research during 1995-1997. Together with Prof. Tim Crowe, I published the book The Gamebirds of Southern Africa in 2000. In May 1997, I was appointed as the Director of Conservation at WWF South Africa. My responsibilities there included directing the focus and activities of WWF-SA's conservation programmes and leading WWF-SA's contribution to biodiversity and environmental conservation in South Africa. I represented WWF-SA on WWF Network fora, including the Africa & Madagascar Subcommittee and the African Rhino Working Group as well as partnership fora such as the South African IUCN National Membership Committee and the Advisory Board of the Mazda Wildlife Fund. I was the Chairman of the Elephant Management & Owners Association (EMOA) during 2006-2008. In April 2009 I took up the post of Manager of the Centre of Excellence at the Fitztitute. I now act as the Fitztitute link with the NRF and DST and manage the research activities which are funded by the CoE using Birds as Keys to Biodiversity Conservation. |
