FOUNDER TRUSTEE & TREASURER

My main interests are Art and Wildlife Conservation. For the last 25 years I have moved 6 countries and in each of them I have collaborated with different charities and individuals working in the animal welfare and rehabilitation. Even though I am a trained and practicing lawyer in arts law, I have a broad academical background in ecology and wildlife preservation and legislation and I am currently a licensed wildlife re-habilitator with a possibility of practicing my skills in my little farm I currently have at home.
Since my childhood, I always felt empathy for sick and injured animals trying to help the best I can and I still do. And my absolute must was a visit to the zoo in every country I moved to. But my interest for tigers and their conservation issues started while I was living in Russia and were fortunate enough to meet people working for the Amur tiger conservation.
I hope to bring both my practical and academical knowledge to help Tigers4Ever and make a positive change for the life of the tigers in Bandhavgarh National Park.
