Background

About Justin Birkhoff

I am an enthusiastic and progressive conservation professional with experience in zoological institutions, conservation non-profits, and a unique partnership between the IUCN SSC and a zoological institution. Throughout my career, I have focused on the role of zoos as conservation organizations, serving as a bridge between in situ and ex situ conservation. I have experience working for and with conservation non-profits. My focus includes supporting the development of conservation skills, utilizing innovative tools, technologies, and approaches to tackle conservation challenges, and emphasizing the contributions of local communities to wildlife conservation. I strongly believe in the power of storytelling as a conservation tool. I am eager to connect with other conservationists and offer them support, skills, and training to aid in their ongoing work.
