George Powell has served as the liaison between CSP and WWF's field offices and partners in Latin America and Madagascar, helping to apply the principles of conservation biology to real-world settings. In this position, he has taken the leadership role in developing conservation landscapes and action plans for WWF priority sites worldwide and has trained WWF collaborators in fundamentals of conservation biology. Prior to WWF, he worked as Director of Conservation Biology at the RARE Center for Tropical Conservation and as a private consultant working to facilitate biological data analysis and mapping for conservationists in the field who often lack such opportunities. Powell is a co founder of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica, a site that has remained dear to his heart since the early 1970's. He received his Ph.D. from University of California, where he researched behavior of mixed species flocks among the avian communities of the lower montane forest of Costa Rica.
