Ian Redmond is a wildlife biologist who describes himself as a reluctant conservationist.  Twice he has witnessed the death of study animals he knew and trusted, killed by the hand of poachers.  These twin traumas, 10 years apart, thrust him into protecting first mountain gorillas and then underground elephants.  He says he’ll work with anyone who shares his goal – to make the world a safe place for apes and elephants – and his co-workers range from ex-poachers to presidents, wildlife charities to the United Nations. He has helped make more than 100 documentaries, helped develop virtual travel as an educational tool and is a co-founder of Ecostreamz – a new way of accessing films about the issues of our day.  His latest venture, which he describes as ‘beyond exciting’ is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, economists (including a Deputy Director of the IMF) and blockchain experts to put into practice the ideas outlined in his TEDx talk #GardenersoftheForest;  together they are developing a means to bring the dollar value of carbon that is attributable to elephants, into the hands of local communities and rangers who hold the future of those elephants and their habitat in their hands.
