Adam Gebb

Adam Gebb is an environmental strategist recognized for innovative conservation solutions that merge ecological science with Indigenous leadership. As Executive Director of the Andes Amazon Conservancy, he works alongside Indigenous nations in Ecuador to secure wildlife migration corridors that reconnect the Amazon rainforest with the Andes Mountains. His approach emphasizes a new paradigm of connectivity, one that strengthens biodiversity, community resilience, and food sovereignty at the same time.

With more than three decades of experience in wildlands conservation, Adam has led pioneering research on wildlife migration networks and biocorridors, while developing strategies that protect ecosystems without displacing human communities. His work is grounded in collaboration, blending ahead of today’s science concepts with traditional ecological knowledge, and has shaped conservation efforts throughout the Andes–Amazon region.

Raised in New York City, Adam originally pursued a degree in Business Administration with a focus on International Marketing at Northeastern University. But a deeper calling shifted his path toward conservation. In 1989, he studied ethno-ecology and tropical ecology at San Francisco State University, a program that led him to northern Thailand.
