About Us
We are a family with a deep passion and interest in conserving the world’s most precious landscapes, marine environments and wildlife for future generations. We believe this starts with finding and partnering with the best individuals and organizations doing the critical work on the ground.
Charlie Wemyss-Dunn
President
Charlie has spent the majority of his 9-year professional career as a management consultant working across a diverse range of industries and several countries. His work to protect wildlife and wild areas began in earnest back in 2008 while volunteering for the Great Orang-Utan Project in Malaysia. He has an especially strong bond with the continent of Africa where he’s studied, lived for a time, and spent many treasured days exploring. When not working and traveling to visit project sites and meet partners for the Foundation, Charlie can be found on the ski slopes in winter or by the beach in the summer.
Christopher Noel Dunn
Advisor
Noel grew up in the UK, spending 25 years in the finance industry in London before moving to North America where he co-founded Ero Copper, a Canadian public company with copper and gold mining assets in Brazil. The Wemyss-Dunn family have a long-standing view that the creation of a sustainable environment for the earth requires the preservation and support of wild areas and animal populations around us. They created the Foundation to try and make a meaningful impact in this task by supporting key initiatives and groups working towards the same purpose.
Katy Magill
Director and Treasurer
Katy has an academic and professional background in geopolitical research and analysis. A lifelong reader and lover of the outdoors, she is driven by curiosity about the world and a passion for preserving wild lands, as well as the wildlife and communities who depend on them.
Morag Wemyss-Dunn
Director and Company Secretary
Morag grew up supporting donkey sanctuaries, birds with broken wings and other abandoned pets. She studied geography with an emphasis on social and environmental studies at university. Trying to understand the symbiotic and often difficult relationship between man, animals, and the environment has always been important to her. The Foundation allows us as a family to try and address some of these relationships with established initiatives we wish to support.
