Sobre

Jean-François Timmers actually is WWF Policy and Advocacy Manager, Deforestation and Conversion-free Supply Chains, based in Brazil. Biologist with specialization in Economics and MSc in Ecology, Conservation and Sustainable Development, he led conservation, development, advocacy and research projects and programs in Brazil since 1992. Among these, he coordinated the “Man and the Biosphere – MAB” Program of UNESCO in Brazil and advocated for the international recognition of the importance of Cerrado and other Brazilian ecosystems. He also coordinated an innovative food security and co-management of national park program with indigenous communities, as well as the creation of new Federal protected areas in the Atlantic Forest, leading to the protection of more than 315 thousand hectares of highly threatened remnants of rare ecosystems. He joined WWF-Brazil in 2012 to set up and lead its Public Policies program, dealing with a wide range of governance, legislative and conservation issues in Brazil, among which the negotiations of the Soy Moratorium in the Amazon. In 2015, he joined WWF International as Global Soy Lead, coordinating WWF network´s actions aiming at responsible soy supply chains worldwide. From 2016 to 2017, Jean-François led the initial structuring of WWF´s Global Food Practice, framing a first scope of WWF´s global actions on food. He now represents WWF Brazil and network in international advocacy on deforestation and conversion-free supply chains and on biological biodiversity.
