2010 Peter Lee

Peter Lee’s love affair with nature and wildlife began as a youngster on the north shore of Lake Superior. He pursued that passion in the outdoors and the classroom. After completing a Master’s degree at the University of Alberta he worked first in government, then for World Wildlife Fund Canada and is now the Executive Director of Global Forest Watch Canada. The work of Global Forest Watch Canada: to use sophisticated technologies such as satellite imagery and Geographical Information System (GIS) software, to identify and evaluate the conservation challenges we face; is vital to our ecological future. His advice to “act with integrity, try to be a role model, have some fun” are words we all would do well to live by.
