Lee James Taylor White '[1] (* 26. Juli 1965 in Manchester, England) ist ein gabunischer Politiker und Zoologe. Er ist seit 2019 Minister für Wasser, Wälder, Meer und Umwelt Gabuns und verantwortlich für den Klimaplan und den Landnutzungsplan. Er hat in Bereichen gearbeitet, die mit dem Klimawandel, der Erhaltung und Bewirtschaftung natürlicher Ressourcen, Schutzgebieten und dem Ökotourismus zusammenhängen.
Er ist Mitglied von Gruppen des IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), spezialisiert auf Elefanten und Primaten
Biografie
BearbeitenLee James Taylor White stammt ursprünglich aus Manchester (Großbritannien) und ist in Uganda aufgewachsen. 1982 meldete er sich freiwillig beim British Trust for Conservation Volunteers und gründete anschließend eine lokale Selbsthilfegruppe für den WWF (World Wide Fund) in Altrincham.
1983 erhielt er sein naturwissenwissenschaftliches Abitur, es folgte ein Master-Abschluss in Zoologie an der Universität London. 1992 promovierte er in Zoologie an der University of Edinburgh. [2]. Er ist verheiratet und Vater von drei Kindern.
Professionelle Karriere
Bearbeiten1984 trat er als Projektmanager dem Tiwai-Primatenprojekt in Sierra Leone bei und 1987 der Nigerian Conservation Foundation in Nigeria. Er kam 1989 nach Gabun, um in Zoologie über die Auswirkungen des Holzeinschlags auf Flora und Fauna zu promovieren (University of Edinburgh, 1992).
Anschließend schloss er sich der amerikanischen NGO Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) an, um ein Forschungs- und Naturschutzprogramm in Gabun und in der Waldzone Zentralafrikas zu erstellen. Unter seiner Führung und innerhalb von zehn Jahren hat sich in Gabun mit 200 Mitarbeitern und jährlichen Zuweisungen von rund 5 Millionen US-Dollar (4 Millionen Euro) das größte WCS-Programm der Welt entwickelt.
Zur gleichen Zeit, ab 2002, dem Jahr der Schaffung von 13 Nationalparks in Gabun durch den verstorbenen Präsidenten EL HADJ Omar Bongo Ondimba,trug Prof. Lee White sein Fachwissen in Fragen des Klimawandels, der Nationalparks und des Ökotourismus dem Präsidenten der Republik zu.
2008 verließ er den WCS, erwarb die gabunische Staatsangehörigkeit und trat dem gabunischen Umweltministerium [3] als Chefwissenschaftler in der gabunischen Delegation für Verhandlungen mit dem Rahmenübereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über Klimaänderungen (UNFCCC) [Archiv] bei, bevor er ernannt wurde. 2009 Exekutivsekretär der Nationalen Agentur für Nationalparks (ANPN), dem Verwaltungsorgan von 13 Nationalparks, das mehr als 10% des Staatsgebiets abdeckt.
10 Jahre lang stellte er die Entwicklung dieser Agentur sicher, die vom Status einer aufstrebenden Behörde mit weniger als 100 Mitarbeitern zu einer professionellen Agentur für die Verwaltung von Nationalparks mit mehr als 800 Mitarbeitern, einschließlich einer paramilitärischen Truppe, überging, in Hinblick auf die Gewährleistung einer verantwortungsvollen Verwaltung der natürlichen Ressourcen und die Beendigung aller Formen der illegalen Ausbeutung dieser Ressourcen. Mit Prof. Lee White sammelte und sicherte der ANPN zwischen 2010 und 2019 im Auftrag Gabuns Mittel in Höhe von fast 96 Milliarden FCFA von verschiedenen Partnern4 [4] ,[5]..
Erfolge und Auszeichnungen
BearbeitenAls Honorarprofessor an der University of Stirling in Schottland erhielt er folgende Auszeichnungen: Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite Gabonais im Jahr 2003, die Anerkennungsmedaille der gabunischen Streitkräfte im Jahr 2011 und Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) im selben Jahr für Dienstleistungen zur Erhaltung in Zentralafrika.
Veröffentlichungen
BearbeitenAls Wissenschaftler ist er Autor von 94 Artikeln und acht Büchern über die Ökologie und Erhaltung tropischer Waldökosysteme in Afrika.
