Sam Stier has 10 years of experience working
on tropical forest restoration and conservation. In the Philippines,
one of world’s biodiversity hotspots, Sam helped to
establish a national park containing the country’s
largest unprotected lowland forest, the country’s first
natural history interpretive center (visited by 140,000 people
annually), and one of the first forest restoration projects
in the tropics designed around the specific habitat needs
of threatened species. He has worked on various scientific,
policy, programmatic, and community issues relating to biodiversity
conservation and forest restoration as a consultant for the
World Bank, U.S. Peace Corps, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, Conservation International, Nature
Conservancy, and World Wildlife Fund.
