Tara A. Pierce
Founder / Leadership Coach + Sustainability Strategist, Restoring Sustainability
I'm an art activist who went to law school and founded my own business that helps leaders create tangible ecological impact. I work with leaders and organisations ready to move beyond compliance-driven sustainability and set new standards for regenerative impact. My passion project is helping coalitions create Restorative Ocean Communities.
My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
