Ambrose Carey
Trustee
Ambrose Carey joined Save the Elephants’ Board of Trustees in 2014. Ambrose first came to Africa at the age of 19 when he assisted Iain Douglas-Hamilton in a campaign to save Uganda’s hard pressed elephants, at a time when the country was in the midst of a civil war. In the late 1980s, Ambrose was part of an international network, set up by Douglas-Hamilton, to investigate and penetrate the inner workings of the ivory trade ultimately leading to the successful 1989 CITES ban. In 2002, Ambrose co-founded Alaco Ltd – a highly successful global business intelligence firm Alaco. He has a degree from the University of East Anglia. He has remained dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and brings experience and a unique set of skills to STE.
