Susanna Weeks
Susie is the Executive Director of the Mount Kenya Trust which was formed in 2000. She’s helped build up the team, its professional capacity and project portfolio from a tiny civil-society venture since 2001 to the effective entity it is today. Mount Kenya Trust is a valued partner of the major Governmental and private Mount Kenya stakeholders. Susie spearheaded the ambitious Mount Kenya Elephant corridor project construction with Mount Kenya Trust and its partners. Elephants used the entirety of the corridor the day after the corridor fences were joined to the highway underpass that allows elephants to pass beneath it. Susie has practical experience with developing and managing a diverse number of conservation programmes including security management, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, corridor development, forest restoration, and fire-fighting coordination. Susie is a member of the National Bongo Task Force, a Kenya Wildlife Service Honorary Warden and part of the Mount Kenya-Aberdare Fire Management Committee. She is a graduate of the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London) and the University of Edinburgh.
