Jon Gelbard, Ph.D.

About Me

Jon Gelbard, Ph.D. is a rare combination of conservation scientist and communications expert. His experience in environmental problem-solving includes over 15 years of academic research, writing and speaking in the fields of conservation biology and management, invasive species biology and management, and conservation communication. Dr. Gelbard has completed projects with The Nature Conservancy and ranchers in New Mexico and Arizona, with agencies and environmental groups in Colorado, with academics, ranchers and agencies in California, with consulting firms and environmental groups in Oregon, and has been an instructor at WWF’s first two Climate Camp workshops. With strong ties to the entertainment industry, Gelbard also enjoys partnering with musicians and events to actively involve their fans in the Green Economy. Dr. Gelbard consults on sustainability and conservation for businesses, agencies, landowners and NGOs alike. He is shamelessly addicted to regular hikes of Bay Area trails and frequent camping trips exploring California's diverse ecosystems. Jon lives with his wife, daughter and collie in an energy efficient home (with a delicious organic garden) in the East Bay Hills.
