Co-CEO & Founder Tim is a recognised pillar of modern ecological science. He has spent 40 years quantifying habitats around the world and has advised numerous governments on strategies for biodiversity gain, as well as presenting at Davos and other influential international conferences. Having developed the most extensive river wildlife and fisheries survey programme for what became the UK’s Environment Agency, he spent five years as the Institute of Environmental Assessment’s first CEO, setting its path to become Europe’s largest membership organisation for environmental professionals. Tim then established Operation Wallacea to facilitate academic-led biodiversity research, funded through tuition fees from participating students, in remote locations worldwide, from the deserts of Egypt to cloud forests in Honduras and reefs in Indonesia. ‘Opwall’ continues to operate today and has published more than 700 peer-reviewed journals. He went on to form the Wallacea Trust, working with the World Bank and other funders to deliver year-round conservation interventions at research sites. Through this work, Tim led the development of the world-renowned Wallacea Trust methodology for quantifying biodiversity. He also founded the Biodiversity Futures Initiative to provide independent, academic peer review of biodiversity claims. He founded rePLANET, his most ambitious venture to date, with the support of Operation Wallacea. Tim remains in place as CEO and leader of all project science and design.
