Park Ranger, Documentary Maker, Charity Founder, Motivational Speaker

Sean Willmore is the internationally celebrated founder of The Thin Green Line Foundation and former President of the International Ranger Federation. His tireless work to defend rangers on the frontlines of conservation work has sparked a global movement for change.

Sean’s inspiring story has been covered by Australian Story, Foreign Correspondent, The Project, The Guardian, The New York Times, National Geographic and many more.

He has met with kings and princes, presidents and billionaires, rock stars and movie stars. He’s been charged by elephants, confronted by armed poachers and gone undercover in Africa to expose the illegal ivory industry.

All of this in an effort to create awareness and get much-needed funding to his ranger colleagues (and their families) who risk and often lose their lives protecting the world’s wildlife and wild places for all of us.

What People are Saying…

  • “What an inspiring person! We love having Sean come and speak to our … students about his career and his amazing work with the Thin Green Line Foundation. I know for many students, that one hour with Sean is enough to give them direction and inspiration to help drive their own careers in wildlife conservation. There are not too many people with such passion and dedication to their cause.”

He immediately gained the full attention of the whole room of over 120 people and for the next 40 minutes you could have heard a pin drop. His enthusiasm was infectious and his passion and knowledge awe inspiring."
