Dr. Paula Kahumbu, wildlife conservationist and CEO of WildlifeDirect,

WildlifeDirect was established in 2006 to provide support to conservationists in Africa directly on the ground via the use of blogs, which enables anybody, anywhere to play a direct and interactive role in the survival of some of the world's most precious species.

WildlifeDirect takes no administration fee for the funds that are transferred through their website so that the financial support can go to where it was intended in its entirety. Their core costs are provided for separately through grants, primarily from the European Union.[1]

The current CEO is Paula Kahumbu, recipient of the 2021 Rolex Award from the National Geographic Society.
