Welcome to People for Nature & Peace

People for Nature and Peace (PNP) is a dynamic new nature conservation and animal welfare charity.  We may be young, but our professional and passionate team brings a lot to the table. Collectively, we have more than 100 years of accumulated knowledge and practical experience in saving and helping animals and wild places. Our collective expertise across academia, non-governmental organisations and government has taught us what works, if we want to see animals and wild habitats protected, and what doesn't. This understanding will serve us well in serving the cause.

This page gives you a little background on the people who, with the other members of the board of trustees, are at the helm of our organisation. More folks from around the world will join us as we move along, and together we will do everything we can for animals and nature. Please join the journey!
