Glenn Prickett

Conservationists have often viewed the business world as an adversary-
a powerful adversary. Glenn Prickett doesn’t see it that way. What if
the very same power that makes business a formidable opponent could be
used as a tool in biodiversity conservation? And what if an
environmentally sustainable approach to business could give a major
boost to the bottom line? This is no idle speculation. It’s a
fundamentally new approach to both business and conservation, and the
results might just change the world. Changing the world is just what
Glenn Prickett does. As the head of CI’s Center for Environmental
Leadership in Business, Glenn creates and develops synergies between
the business and conservation arenas. Conservation needs the influence,
the acumen, the reach of business to be successful. Conservation can
teach business efficiency and concern for the natural world.
Partnerships between the two can have lasting postive impacts on the
world's environment, and Glenn is an expert in bringing those
partnerships to fruition.

Business is not the only sphere where Glenn forges alliances.
Government, with its tremendous reach and resources, is another
important partner in achieving conservation outcomes. Working with CI's
Center for Conservation and Government, Glenn helps U.S. government
leaders shape policy and public funding to ensure that the world's
natural wealth will be preserved for generations to come.
