A story like no other…

Sean Willmore has met with kings and princes, presidents and billionaires, rock stars and movie stars. He’s been charged by elephants, confronted by poachers and gone undercover in Africa to expose the illegal ivory industry. All in a bid to create awareness and fund an incredibly important cause.

Sean’s story, and his work as the founder of The Thin Green Line Foundation and former President of the International Ranger Federation, has been covered by Australian Story, Foreign Correspondent, The Project, The Guardian, The New York Times, National Geographic and many more.

Sean has won numerous awards, including the Banksia Foundation International Award for Conservation (2014), the United Nations Association Of Australia Environment Medal (2009), the Melbourne Award for Conservation (2013), the Pride Of Australia Environment Award (2013) and the International Ranger Federation Award (2006). He has been nominated for Australian of The Year for eight years running. He also is the Recipient of The Royal Humane Society Bravery Medal for a rescue attempt as an Australian park ranger. He has also written a best-selling series of children’s books called ‘Ranger in Danger’.

What can we expect at one of Sean’s talks?

Sean is a brilliant communicator who takes pride in remaining authentic and deeply connected to the cause he cares about so much. His talks always strike a balance between the stark reality of his work and a much-needed sense of positivity and hope. He’s not one to talk jargon or corporate speak or to glorify his story. Rather, he engages audience in a genuine conversation, peppered with anecdotes that’ll make you laugh and others that’ll make you cry. He’ll share harsh realities, the trials and tribulations of keeping an international charity afloat, along with heartwarming memories of the many people he’s met along the way. Audiences almost always leave feeling motivated and asking how they can do more.
