Mr Warren Lee-Long
Senior Program OfficerWetlands International Oceania
I hope to achieve significant advances in environment management for sustainable ecosystems and economies across the Asian region, making the greatest use of our Australian experiences and expertise. I was born and educated in northern Queensland with 4th generation Chinese heritage, and since 1984 have established links between Australia and Asian countries through several visits and study periods.
My 20-year career in coastal environment research and management has focussed on the Australasian region, and now includes all of East-Asia and the West Pacific. To me, engaging the diverse Asian and Australian communities in wiser use of our lands and seas can be achieved through an appeal to our common and shared human need for clean and healthy resources to survive into the future.
