Pacific Regional Director, Island Conservation
Possible locations include: Australia, Fiji, Guam, New Zealand, and Western Samoa
About the Organization
Island Conservation (IC) is a US-based, nonprofit organization that works with governments and communities around the world to protect island species under acute threat of extinction. Its primary means for doing so is the removal of invasive vertebrates on islands. With its partners, IC designs and implements conservation projects, which ensure native species protection and demonstrate cutting-edge invasive species removal techniques. IC also supports on-the-ground research to optimize the success of invasive vertebrate removal. Since its founding in 1994, IC's conservation efforts have saved 288 species from extinction.
Through a recent, systematic assessment, IC has assembled a list of the world¡|s most biologically threatened islands. Guided by this list, IC will design and implement conservation programs in the United States, South America, the Caribbean, and the Tropical Pacific, while simultaneously coordinating a global campaign to rapidly scale up the rate and impact of its work. This campaign will be designed to create economies of scale through the centralized funding and coordination of conservation activities. It will address the biological and development needs of island nations and nations with islands, and seek support from multilateral organizations, the scientific community, conservation partners, and a diverse set of funders. Through its implementation, the campaign will ensure the conservation of at least 40 threatened species, while simultaneously improving the resilience and livelihood of island populations worldwide.
For additional information about Island Conservation's work, please visit www.islandconservation.org<http://www.islandconservation.org/>.
Pacific Regional Director
IC seeks to fill a new regional director position to grow and manage a conservation program in the Pacific Islands. This biologically unique area comprises some 20,000 to 30,000 islands, which are home to hundreds of endemic species. Most of these islands are quite small and therefore can sustain very limited populations of these plants and animals, increasing their vulnerability to extinction due to climate change, habitat destruction, and the introduction of invasive species.
The Pacific Regional Director (PRD) will be responsible for developing and executing overall strategy throughout the region, the development of collaborative partnerships with diverse stakeholders, and for ensuring that high impact, multilateral grants and other change-making mechanisms are used to achieve planned outcomes and impact. The PRD will play a primary role in advancing a global campaign to prevent extinctions on islands. This campaign is designed to take advantage of the economies of scale provided by a combination of centralized funding and an integrated approach across nations. The PRD will draw upon the expertise and resources of the Convention on Biological Biodiversity, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the United Nations Environment Programme, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Global Environment Facility in a unified effort to protect biodiversity. Over the next five years, the campaign would ensure the conservation of threatened species, while simultaneously improving the resilience and livelihood of island populations worldwide.
This role requires expert leadership, communication, and management skills, and the ability to develop meaningful relationships with the government agencies of the independent island nations, territories, and nations with islands, which make up the region, as well as regional partners, external partners, and a variety of funders. This is an outstanding opportunity for a strategic and politically savvy leader with demonstrated successful fundraising experience and broad regional knowledge.
