Dr. Ken Wilson relishes the interface between cultural and biological diversities at landscape/seascape level and the strategies and engagement necessary to enable creativity and bottom up change processes. Born in Malawi with a life spread across the continents he was an academic at the University of Oxford before spending 22 years in philanthropy, with the Ford Foundation and then The Christensen Fund. In addition to advising LEAP and Forever Sabah he retains his connections, since 1980, with a set of villages in southern Zimbabwe through the Muonde Trust and writing their social and environmental histories. He also serves as advisor and/or board member of several major international philanthropic efforts that connect environment and indigenous issues.
