As an IUCN Member you are passionate about nature conservation and the changes we need to see in this world. So am I. Since my childhood I have cared for nature. I have made it my job and passion. And now I also educate my daughter in that way. As an ecologist, I focus my work on strategic communications, change management and capacity building in Africa and beyond.
I work for conservation and development with local communities, technocrats, business, and high level decision makers, from my permanent home in Namibia. As a CEC member, I have always loved to dedicate my expertise and leadership qualities to achieve the mission of IUCN and CEC.
As Chair I will lead CEC to
- Be a strategic partner in the entire IUCN family – Members, staff, other Commissions – to implement the new IUCN Programme;
- Mobilize the relevant expertise around the world to add value to IUCN’s capacity development activities;
- Set an example worldwide of using old and new media to deepen and upscale capacity development in a way that transcends the digital divide;
- Make every CEC member count and create a truly global community of practice – with empowered contributions especially from the emerging economies and developing nations.
Please note that now that the elections are passed, we will not publish any more comments on this page.




What I like very much is your experience in Africa, still a contintent into CEC should invest much more.
