Publisher: William Collins

With Honourable Intent is the previously untold story of an organisation that has been shaping and influencing conservation practice since its foundation in 1903. From its origins in African wildlife conservation, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) has grown into a truly global organisation, with projects in over 40 countries encompassing temperate and tropical forests, grasslands and deserts, limstone caves, wetlands and marine habitats. Today FFI safeguards some of the world's most iconic wildlife, including Sumatran tigers, mountain gorillas and leatherback turtles, and continues to champion less familiar or neglected species such as the Siamese crocodile, the Saint Lucia racer and the saiga. FFI was one of the driving forces behind the Cambridge Conservation Initiative and is one of the cluster of conservation organisations and academic departments based in the David Attenborough Building at the intellectual heart of Cambridge.

Drawing on a rich archive of historical documents and photographs, this book provides a fascinating insight into some of the seminal moments in the organisation’s evolution and reveals many of the colourful characters and unsung heroes with whom FFI has been associated from its inception at the start of the last century right through to the present day.
