About Jeffrey...

He creates and leads projects and organizations focused on securing and restoring our living planet as well as supporting the rights of local and Indigenous peoples. He’s also a photographer and public speaker. He is currently leading Global Activators, a charitable organization that engages young people in advocacy efforts to protect the world’s oceans, forests, and to prevent catastrophic climate change.

At age 16, he founded a charitable environmental organization for Canadian teenagers that was focused on protecting the ancient temperate rainforests of Haida Gwaii, an archipelago located in the North Pacific Ocean. Since then, he has started three additional environmental youth leadership organizations as well as co-creating a global young leaders program for WWF, the world's largest nature conservation organization.

As a teenager, he discovered a keen interest in Indigenous societies when he began to know and collaborate with the Haida Nation. He has since developed a long track record of forming meaningful alliances with Indigenous peoples and local communities throughout the world.

The charitable organizations and projects he has spearheaded have collectively involved thousands of young people in helping to secure life on Earth. He has a particular interest in the Amazon rainforest, Borneo, Madagascar, and wild regions of Canada. For his efforts, he has received several distinctions, including becoming one of the youngest laureates of the United Nations Global 500 Roll of Honour. 

He has expertise in organizing and leading educational travel programs, particularly those in remote locations. More than 1,500 people have participated in the expeditions and travel experiences he has created worldwide. 

His multi-media presentations skillfully blend his storytelling, knowledge, and photography into a compelling narrative about his life’s work helping to protect our threatened planet. To date, over 150,000 people across Canada, the United States, Australia, England, and Venezuela have experienced these presentations.
