Scott Hecker ’87 (New England, MS Env. Studies) reports, “When I pursued my MS degree at Antioch, I helped establish the Programme for Belize to purchase 250,000 acres of rain forest. Now 30 years later, most of which was spent protecting Piping Plovers and Roseate Terns for Mass Audubon and National Audubon, I have circled back to the tropics. Since January 2016 I have combined my experiences protecting coastal birds with those protecting tropical habitats as Director of Bird Conservation for the International Conservation Fund of Canada.”
