"Although Holly has lived in East Africa most of her life, she received her MSc. in Wildlife Biology from the University of Washington in 1980 and her PhD. in Zoology from the University of British Columbia in 1985. In the course of her career, she has been awarded: WWF’s International Conservation Merit Award; the Chicago Zoo’s President’s Medal for Conservation Excellence; Officer of the Golden Ark; the Charles A.

Since then, she has served as a Senior Conservation Adviser for IUCN’s Eastern Africa Regional Office in Nairobi, while conducting independent evaluations and programmatic planning exercises for the Global Environment Facility, the International Finance Corporation, UNEP, WWF International and numerous other NGOs.

"Holly has many other associations within IUCN and its Commissions as a member of the World Commission on Protected Areas, the Commission on Environmental, Economic and Social Policy and as an active contributor to the Commission on Ecosystem Management, particularly with regard to the conceptualization and operationalization of the Ecosystem Approach to the conservation of biodiversity. On the regional and national level, she has worked with IUCN’s national and sub-regional offices in Africa and Asia.
