About Our Speaker
Chris N. Parish, hails from a small farming/ranching and oil town in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. After a brief yet impactful introduction to the wildlife of the desert foothills, mostly through hunting and fishing, he moved on to further his education at Northern Arizona University on an athletic scholarship, obtaining a B.S. in Biology with emphasis on Fish and Wildlife Management. Through time, education and reflection of the vast gap between the people of the land and conservation-oriented groups i.e. academics, scientists etc., it became obvious that he would strive to bridge the gap between the people of the lands and the scientific/management communities in efforts to build intentional and successful conservation products. After working for the Arizona Game and Fish Department as a wildlife biologist for the first five years of his wildlife career, he moved to the private sector and served as the Condor Program Director for The Peregrine Fund for nearly two decades, continuing his passion for both field work and converting foundational scientific contributions to conservation by engaging and uniting partners in recovery efforts in Arizona and Utah. Additionally, he has been pursuing a PhD at Northern Arizona University, and has been promoted to Director of Global Conservation for The Peregrine Fund with a primary focus on recovery programs for Aplomado Falcons, California Condors, and the establishment of the North American Non-Lead Partnership to preserve our wildlife conservation and hunting heritage. Chris and his wife Ellen, have two beautiful daughters, Emma and Anna who are now both attending college at Northern Arizona University and the University of Wyoming.
