Andrew served as a Member of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Council from 2012 to 2021, and was invaluable to the Council鈥檚 efforts to strengthen the governance, reach and impact of the Union.
Alongside his work in New Zealand鈥檚 Department of Conservation, Andrew was a long-standing and respected representative of his country at countless international conservation fora, including the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 World Conservation Congress and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity.
The many tributes paid by colleagues speak of his principled approach to conservation, the diversity of his interests, his humour, and a legacy that benefits both people and nature in New Zealand and around the world.

Our deepest condolences go to Andrew鈥檚 family, friends and colleagues.
