Our People
The AEFI Management Committee is made up of a variety of industry experts and representatives including biological scientists, ecotourism operators, accountants, public servants, Indigenous teachers, farmers and business executives. This combination allows AEFI to manage our reserves and wildlife with a broad range of experiences, skills and knowlegde on hand.
We are a volunteer based organisation, so our overheads stay low while our work engages people from all over the world. We involve people at the grass-roots level in each of our projects to help ensure their sustainability and long-term uptake by local, regional and international communities.
The people I met and the things I learnt will stay with me for the rest of my life

My host organization (Trevor and Kellie) were some of the kindest, most generous and inspiring people I've met. I aspire to be a conservationist and they showed me that it is not a hopeless profession, and I gained insight into how to organize my own project.
