Hendrik Christiaan (Chris) Eksteen
I have a love for conservation, education, curriculum development and programme design. I am a born leader with a unique skillset and work experience. I am a critical realist with a passion for nature, learning and exploring.
About Me
I am a South African born visionary towards a nature positive future. I currently reside in Cape Town, South Africa. I grew up on a farm and enjoy nature through adventures, photography, birding and beekeeping. I practice target sports, pottery and love to teach others new skills and knowledge.
“In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love
only what we understand, and we will understand only
what we are taught.” Baba Dioum, 1968
