Frank Pope

Frank Pope (born 13 May 1973) is the chief executive officer for Save the Elephants (STE). After studying zoology at the University of Edinburgh he began his career in marine science before joining ''The Times'' newspaper as the world's first Ocean Correspondent (between 2008 and 2011) to cover the fast-changing science, environment and geopolitics of the sea. During this time he published two books, ''Dragon Sea'' (Penguin, 2007) and ''72 Hours'' (Orion, 2011) and hosted the BBC Series ''Britain's Secret Seas''.

Pope joined Save the Elephants in 2012 and later helped establish the Elephant Crisis Fund (a joint initiative between Save the Elephants and the Wildlife Conservation Network), supporting more than 58 different partner organisations across Africa and the world in conducting projects in the realms of anti-poaching, anti-trafficking and demand reduction.

Pope is married to Saba Douglas-Hamilton, daughter of STE founder Iain Douglas-Hamilton. They live in Kenya with their three children. In 2015, they made the BBC Natural History Unit series ''This Wild Life''. Provided by Wikipedia
