New Appointment at Manx Wildlife Trust

Manx Wildlife Trust has announced that Dr Carmel Croukamp will take up the role as the new Head of Engagement.

Dr Carmel Croukamp will replace Graham Makepeace-Warne, who has taken over as CEO of MWT.

Head of Engagement

Speaking about her new role, Carmel said: “I’m honoured to take over as Head of Engagement for MWT. Our new CEO’s vision is for a community and place where people and nature can thrive together, and which can be a beacon for environmental recovery.

“With the acquisition of significant new sites, including 1,124 acres at Glen Auldyn, temperate rainforest restauration initiatives and a number of exciting developments, it’s a great time to be joining MWT. 

“Nature has a vital role to play in supporting the prosperity and wellbeing of people and communities, and I’m thrilled to contribute to that mission. 

“Most of all, I feel incredibly fortunate to be working in nature conservation here at home, in the Isle of Man.”
