Stephen Ham
“Saving Nature’s Strongholds”
The Wildlife Conservation Society is protecting wildlife and wild places across the planet. Stephen Ham, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, will be discussing how WCS, the largest, field-based conservation organization in the world, approaches conservation and why WCS knows that zoos, particularly its headquarters at the Bronx Zoo, are essential to inspiring people to take action for conservation. WCS manages four New York City wildlife parks in addition to the Bronx Zoo, and does conservation work in more than 50 countries to achieve its mission to save wildlife and wild places.
Stephen has spent his life dedicated to the field of global conservation. Whether trekking mountain gorillas in Rwanda or whale watching in Antarctica, he is a passionate advocate for wildlife and the wild places they inhabit, particularly for Africa. He received a degree in anthropology and environmental studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a returned volunteer with the United States Peace Corps where he served in Ghana, West Africa. Before WCS, he was Senior Director with the African Wildlife Foundation and he also spent years as a special assistant to Dr. Jane Goodall. When not looking for animals Stephen lives in New York with his wife and two daughters.
