• Networking & Advocacy: You will build and maintain a strong national and international network of stakeholders, ranging from politicians to scientists, and from dedicated activists to allies at other NGOs.
• Action & Impact: You have a keen sense of when peaceful confrontation is necessary and ensure that our message comes across loud and clear to our target audience.
