James MCBREEN

I lead IUCN's work to develop and deploy appropriate technology and digital innovation to catalyse effective, equitable, and successful area-based species conservation. With over 18 years in the nature conservation sector, I have designed, led and managed initiatives and programmes at the intersection of science, policy and action at the local, national and global level in collaboration with governments, site managers, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, private sector, and conservation organisations. I am motivated by the opportunity – using science-driven data, technology, inclusive engagement and partnerships – to improve our collective stewardship of social and ecological systems.
