James Borrell
James Borrell is a conservation biologist with a passion for exploration and adventure. His first expedition experience was a month spent in the rainforests of Madagascar at the age of 17. Subsequently he has been involved with several further expeditions to Norway and the Peruvian Amazon, conducted field research in South Africa, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean and travelled overland from London to Istanbul in search of Europe’s remaining wild places. Just back from a field trip to the highlands of Scotland, James is planning to undertake field research in Northern Lapland later this summer.
