With a passion for protecting nature, an understanding of the challenges the natural world faces, and a spirit of ruthless optimism, Dolf DeJong has enjoyed an incredible career in the conservation, wildlife protection, and education field.

This plan focuses on making conservation science a priority and reflecting on how we serve our wildlife populations.
