About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of protecting irreplaceable natural habitats through conservation, research, education, and community involvement. The successful candidate will be a steward of the organization's mandate, with a focus on natural habitat and biodiversity protection as the top priority. This role requires a visionary leader who can provide strategic planning, and management, and enhance the company's research, education, programs, fundraising, and community engagement efforts.
