Tony Juniper is one of Britain’s best-known environmental campaigners.
Chair of global rainforest charity Cool Earth, Tony has worked on efforts to conserve tropical forests around the world for nearly 30 years. He has held roles including Director of Friends of the Earth, special advisor to His Majesty The King’s Rainforests Project and Director for Advocacy and Campaigns at WWF. Tony’s experience on the frontline fight to save the world’s most precious trees, plants and animals has inspired many to do the same.
His current role as Chair of Natural England means Tony balances preserving and rewilding UK’s nature with championing Earth’s rainforests and raising awareness on the importance of taking genuine environmental action.

During his tenure in London, Nersesyan oversaw a notable development in Armenia's diplomatic presence when the embassy relocated to new five-storey premises on St James Square, marking a significant upgrade from its previous location at the Armenian House, where it had operated since the embassy's establishment in 1992.
Through his senior diplomatic positions in Washington and London, Nersesyan has been at the forefront of Armenian foreign policy and bilateral relations with two key Western powers. He writes commentary for Comment Central.
