Frank Pope

Frank Pope (born 13 May 1973) is the chief executive officer for Save the Elephants (STE). After studying zoology at the University of Edinburgh he began his career in marine science before joining The Times newspaper as the world's only Ocean Correspondent (between 2008 and 2011) to cover the fast-changing science, environment and geopolitics of the sea and help increase visibility of the crisis facing marine ecosystems. During this time he published two books, Dragon Sea (Penguin, 2007) and 72 Hours (Orion, 2011) and hosted the BBC Series Britain's Secret Seas.

After joining Save the Elephants in 2012 Pope helped establish the Elephant Crisis Fund (a joint initiative between Save the Elephants & the Wildlife Conservation Network), supporting more than 58 different partner organisations across Africa and the world in conducting over 180 projects in the realms of anti-poaching, anti-trafficking and demand reduction. An experienced bush pilot, Pope is married to Saba Douglas-Hamilton, daughter of STE founder Iain Douglas-Hamilton. They live in Kenya with their three children. In 2015, they made the BBC Natural History Unit series ''This Wild Life''. Provided by Wikipedia
