Biography

Environmental scientist and adventurer Tim Jarvis AM is committed to finding pragmatic solutions to major environmental issues related to climate change and biodiversity loss and uses his expeditions, films, books and public speaking engagements to promote thinking in these areas. Having worked in sustainability for over 30 years, he currently provides strategic and practical sustainability advice to government and a range of corporate organisations and advocacy groups.

Known for his historically authentic recreations of the Antarctic survival journeys of Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton, Tim is founder of The Forktree Project, a native revegetation project on South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula, Global Ambassador and Governor of environmental NGO WWF, Southern Ocean Ambassador to Save Our Marine Life and a Vice President of Flora and Fauna International. He received the Order of Australia in 2010 for services to the environment, community and exploration and has recently been named South Australia’s Australian of the Year 2024.

Tim was the speaker at the ECU Vice-Chancellor’s oration in November 2023, his presentation was extraordinary and those who were lucky enough to be able to attend commented that it was the best oration to date.  He was highly engaging, recounting his experiences of resilience and survival, whilst seamlessly linking the subject matter to corporate leadership and the need for global conservation efforts and sustainability.
