Podcast | Helping the UK Governments conserve nature | Dr Gemma Harper (Chief Executive of the JNCC)
In this episode I’m speaking with Dr Gemma Harper – the Chief Executive of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, or JNCC for short.
JNCC is a public body that provides a shared scientific nature conservation service for the UK. This helps the governments in the UK to achieve their wildlife conservation objectives.
Just one year into her role as Chief Executive, we talk about the important role JNCC plays within biodiversity conservation efforts, and also her approach to leading the organisation.
We also discuss her career path to date, before Gemma shares her advice for people like you, who might be seeking to follow in her footsteps.
It’s a wide-ranging, informative and really enjoyable conversation. Enjoy.
