Anantara appoints worldwide conservation director

John Roberts has been promoted to the position of Anantara’s worldwide conservation director where he will work closely with all Anantara properties to ensure that each conservation initiative is correctly implemented.

With an academic background in science and engineering, Roberts spent many years in conservation volunteer roles from the Guadalupe Mountains National Park in the desert of West Texas to remote parks of Northern Australia.

At Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge in Chitwan National Park, Nepal, he helped with the International Trust for Nature Conservation's tiger research and other projects.

Most recently, Roberts has been working at Anantara Golden Triangle’s Elephant Camp alongside Anantara’s Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation (GTAEF), a camp supporting 25 elephants and 60 people.

In his new role as Anantara’s worldwide conservation director, Roberts will work closely with all Anantara properties overseeing its overall brand CSR platform ‘365 Days of Good Deeds’ enabling him to identify and develop projects which Anantara properties can become involved with, and where appropriate be incorporated into unique guest activities.
