As part of the work on UmPhafa Reserve we work with local schools and the community. Recently, I was able to visit the school in Colenso, to help do a talk on recycling and conservation. I was overwhelmed at the enthusiasm of the kids, fantastic. Also, the sun was in my eyes, honest!

Book James for a speaking event:

James is a highly acclaimed public speaker, delivering keynotes, lectures and debates to a wide range of audiences including students, the public, conservation practioners and scientists. Rather than further polarizing already divisive conservation topics, James aims to explain the complexity and nuance of conservation. What we choose to do over the next five decades, will profoundly influence the diversity of life on eath for the next 5 million years. It’s never been a more important, or more exciting time to be a conservationist.
