Andrew Muir, Executive Director, Wilderness Foundation, South Africa
Founded in 1972, the Wilderness Foundation is one of the few conservation organizations currently involved with social intervention programmes. The Wilderness Foundation has used the economic promise of eco-tourism to provide educational and job opportunities to more than 100,000 youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. Under the stewardship of the Wilderness Foundation, over 200,000 hectares of African wilderness have been
rehabilitated and expanded in the interests of conservation and environmental protection.
