“Never before have both the environmental challenge and opportunity been greater.”
Thomas Lovejoy, Heinz Center Biodiversity Chair
During the nearly 40 years Tom has maintained a research camp in the Amazon, he has hosted countless politicians, celebrities, and individuals who are eager to learn about the rainforest and how it is changing. Often referred to as the “Switzerland of Conservation,” Tom is inspired in his work by the legacy of Senator John Heinz, who was a close friend. “John had a vision for a world where we would all work together to make it a better place. We bear a big responsibility in continuing his work and leaving a healthy planet for generations to come.” |
