IRF's Island-Focused Mission

Home

Trustees

Since its founding in 1972, the Foundation’s governing board has comprised individuals whose background and skills include experience not only in conservation but also in international development, education, and business management. From the beginning, we have recognized the need to address environmental concerns within a larger framework of insular economic development. These concerns are reflected in the current composition of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
