Douglas moves from his role as Marketing Manager at Oxfam, bringing with him a decade of marketing experience as well as a highly relevant academic background in ecology.
He joins Earthwatch as the charity is looking to expand into Europe. New methods of fundraising have been initiated this year, such as appeals to fund research into endangered ecosystems.
