Adam Pope grew up in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia). He went to school in Zambia and later in Zimbabwe. He and his three brothers enjoyed innumerable family visits to Zambia’s newly established National Parks, driving over rough roads for days. This built a lasting interest in wild places and conservation in all four boys. Adam studied (ironically for one from a land locked country) Marine Zoology at Cape Town and in the absence of marine science opportunities in the early 1970s, and turning down an offer in animal biology at the UCT Groote Schuur Medical School, completed an MPhil in integrated land resources survey at Reading University in the United Kingdom. He returned to Zambia in 1977 to join a consulting team undertaking a nation-wide natural resource assessment. One thing led to another and he found himself at a senior level in an engineering consultancy company and was obliged to become a chartered civil engineer – which he did by distance learning through the Institution of Civil Engineers.
Adam has since used his polyglot skills in rotation: managing engineering design and manufacturing companies; managing a WWF wetlands project on the Kafue Flats and in Bangweulu Wetlands; 5 years acting as a multi-sector adviser to government on EU-assistance projects; then joining a regional management consulting practice. Adam now consults in the roads, tourism and the environmental sectors. It was through a World Bank-funded management consultancy for the Kasanka Trust that Adam became involved with its work. After he made a loose statement that consultants rarely get the chance to implement their recommendations, he was voted onto the Kasanka Trust Board!
