Two environmental leaders to teach
at F&ES as visiting faculty

The immediate past director of the U.S. National Parks Service and an environmental leader from Pakistan will join the visiting faculty of the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (F&ES) during the 2002-2003 academic year.

"Having visiting faculty is a long-standing tradition at F&ES," says Dean James Gustave Speth. "These additions are part of a special effort to bring in leaders from abroad to complement our academic faculty with top practitioners."

The new visiting professors will be:

Robert Stanton, the 15th director of the National Park Service (1997-2001) and the first African-American to hold that position since the agency was established by Congress in 1916. Stanton was responsible for managing the $2.3 billion annual budget of the 83-million-acre National Park System, which attracts 288 million visitors each year. He also oversaw major national education and preservation programs. Currently he is a private consultant in conservation policy, planning and management, and serves as congress ambassador to the International Planning Committee of the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) World Commission on Protected Areas in support of the Fifth World Congress on National Parks to be held next year in Durban, South Africa. He will come to Yale in the fall.

Aban Marker Kabraji, the IUCN's regional director for Asia since 1999. A Pakistani, Kabraji serves on the governing board of the International Institute for Sustainable Development. From 1989 to 1999, she was Pakistan's representative to the IUCN and worked with the Pakistani government to establish a nature conservation strategy within the Environment Ministry. A former regional director of the World Wildlife Fund, she is one of the founders and a trustee of Shikat Gah, the first women's non-governmental organization in Pakistan, and is a member of the Pakistan Women's Action Forum. She will join the F&ES faculty in the spring.
