In
late 1999, four international wildlife conservationists flew
into San Francisco to share their vision of a new organization
that could respond quickly and effectively to wildlife poaching
and habitat destruction around the globe. I had been working
together with Peter Knights, Steven Galster, and Steven Trent,
for over seven years, on results-oriented conservation projects.
Even though we were working for four different organizations,
we all shared a preference for rapid, action-based intervention
in wildlife crises, followed by creation of long-term, sustainable
solutions.
