(Supplied Photo)\nPresident & CEO \nLeading the helm of Canada’s largest non-profit conservation organization is no small task. It requires plenty of energy and passion. \nThere’s no question that the President and CEO of the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC)\, John Lounds\, is passionate about what he does. \nA passion for nature and conservation \nJohn Lounds’s passion for conservation and appreciation of nature was developed while growing up in rural Ontario and spending late summers at a family cottage. John then applied these interests at university\, obtaining his undergraduate degree in environmental studies (urban and rural planning) from the University of Waterloo and then a master’s degree in environmental studies from York University. \nPrior to joining the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC)\, John was the Executive Director of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists (now Ontario Nature) for six years. Previous to that\, he also held several positions with the Government of Ontario\, including as a program director for the Ontario Round Table on Environment and Economy\, a management board analyst for the ministries of Environment and Northern Development and Mines and an energy conservation planner with the Ministry of Energy. \nLeading the way for conservation success \nJohn joined NCC as its president and CEO in October 1997. Through his leadership\, NCC has further defined its unique role as an organization that works with individuals and groups across Canada who share NCC’s passion for land conservation. NCC uses creative means to achieve this goal. \nUnder John’s leadership\, NCC has achieved great success\, having grown from an annual budget of $8 million in 1997 to approximately $80 million by 2017. In the process NCC has helped conserve 2\,800\,000 acres (more than 1.1 million hectares) of ecologically significant lands across Canada since 1962. While NCC has accomplished much over the past decade\, in John’s view\, “there is so much more to do.” \nJohn is a governor of the University of Waterloo\, and was previously a member of the Dean’s Advisory Committee at the Faculty of Environment at the University of Waterloo. He has served as a director of the George Cedric Metcalf Charitable Foundation\, the Smart Prosperity Initiative\, the International Land Conservation Network and on the Canadian councils of the North American Bird Conservation Initiative and the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. \nBorn in Brantford\, Ontario and raised in Meaford\, John enjoys outdoor pursuits\, particularly canoeing\, birding and cross-country skiing. He is also an avid traveller\, having explored various parts of the world\, including Japan\, India\, Africa\, Southeast Asia and South America. \nJohn is married to Ellen McRae\, and has four step-children: Aimee\, Scott\, Ed and Melanie.
