Yolanda Kakabadse was born in Ecuador in 1948. She studied Educational Psychology in the Catholic University of Quito. Her nexus with the environmental conservation movement officially began in 1979, when she was appointed Executive Director of Fundación Natura in Quito, where she worked until 1990. Ms. Kakabadse helped Fundación Natura become one of Latin America’s most important environmental organizations through the development of important processes for Ecuadorian society and the international community: from environmental education to the proposal of development policies, Fundación Natura took an important place in the world of non-governmental organizations.
Yolanda is currently the President of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF), one of the world’s largest environmental organizations.
