A Message from our Executive Director

2023-Reconnect and Reboot

The last few years have certainly felt somewhat isolating as I have learnt to navigate Wildlife Asia’s conservation mission from a drivers seat that has been 100% remote. The pandemic did not allow me to take my foot off the pedal but it sure required a new way of driving. It was so great this year to finally be able to reconnect in person with some of our field staff and return to a level of normality as we continue to support local organisations and communities in their quest for biodiversity protection.

Although we have learned to function differently and in many ways forced new efficiencies, the value of human connection cannot be underestimated, nor can reconnecting with the landscapes in which our efforts are focused.

Humans are of course at the core of wildlife conservation both in terms of threats but also driving positive change. None more important to recognise than indigenous communities leading from the frontline, fighting for rights to ensure sustainable development of their lands and to manage biodiversity with innate wisdom and vision for the future.

This recognition brings us all an opportunity to reconnect, with each other and with country, to enable us to make thoughtful and considered decisions that future generations will thank us for.

I have also ventured into the world of Local Government in the last few years which has, not surprisingly, presented some challenges but also taught me new skills that I bring to my role as Executive Director of WA. Listening to community, finding logical and resourceful pathways forward to meet diverse needs, and making balanced decisions whilst staying true to values are fundamental to both of these roles.

I look forward to further reconnection this year, supporting our partners to deliver effective conservation programs with measurable impact. I take this opportunity to extend a sincere thank you to all of our donors and supporters, who join us on this journey to make a positive contribution to the protection of our planet.

For the future,

 

Clare Campbell
Executive Director
