Happy World Rhino Day!
A global celebration to create awareness about the different species and the dangers that they face.
Werner Myburgh
Chief Executive Officer
Werner’s always been an active nature and conservation enthusiast. While studying ecology, he volunteered in Kruger National Park and soon after joined Peace Parks where, after earning his stripes, he was appointed as the CEO. During this time, he has worked on more than 500 different development projects, and was part of the team responsible for facilitating the establishment of seven transfrontier conservation areas in southern Africa that collectively span over 1,000,00km2.
Werner freely shares his expertise with his team and serves on several advisory boards and steering committees in an effort to secure a future where mankind lives in harmony with nature.
