Craig Millar is our Chief Operating Officer in Kenya and has overseen our ranger program for over a decade. The success of our rangers is thanks in part to his leadership. As one of our pilots, he’s frequently spotted throughout the ecosystem on aerial patrols, attending meetings, and helping to coordinate our 300+ rangers and ever-widening intelligence network.
A 4th generation Kenyan, Craig first became involved with Big Life while studying for his zoology degree at Newcastle University UK. He interned with Big Life in 2011, researching predator behavior in the ecosystem, focusing on data specific to Big Life’s Predator Compensation Fund before joining Big Life full time in 2013.
Today, he remains committed to protecting the Greater Amboseli ecosystem and is an integral part of all Big Life operations across all departments.
If you haven’t seen “The Ivory Game” on Netflix, you can see how Craig helps to calm the local community following an elephant crop-raiding incident, work that has since led to 100 km of solar-powered crop-protection fencing that is keeping elephants and farmers safe.
