Scientific Advisory Council
African People & Wildlife’s Scientific Advisory Council consists of the best and brightest scientists in the fields of conservation and development. Council members help to establish our organizational priorities and strategies, offering counsel on the quality and relevance of the scientific information being collected and used by our team. They also consult with APW’s directors and others to ensure that the best and latest in scientific understanding is applied to the organization’s efforts to find the balance for communities and nature.
