David Rothschild

In 2005 David de Rothschild founded Adventure Ecology an organization that uses adventure and the arts to create stories that inform and inspire action via a global community that learns and speaks about the environment, shares and acts on this knowledge.

His commitment to the environment has sent him to some of the world’s most remote and fragile regions. In 2006 David spent over 100 days crossing The Arctic from Russia to Canada, which saw him become one of only 42 people, and the youngest British person to ever reach both geographical poles.

Prior to his 2006 ‘Top of the World Arctic Expedition’, David had already become one of only 14 people ever to traverse the continent of Antarctica, and was part of a team that during it’s double traverse broke the world record for the fastest ever crossing of the Greenland Icecap.

National Geographic awarded David de Rothschild an ‘Emerging Explorer’ for its class of 2007 and Clean Up The World has invited David to be an international ambassador. Furthermore, the World Economic Forum made David a ‘Young Global Leader’ and most recently in September 2007 GQ (UK and Germany) magazine presented him the accolade of ‘Environmentalist of the Year’.

Adventure Ecology promotes respect and responsibility for the Planet, its environment, species and peoples by developing a greater connection with nature and an understanding of one of the Planet’s greatest challenges: Sustainability.

Adventure Ecology undertakes expeditions to some of the world’s most dangerous, exciting and environmentally challenged zones, helping people to share in the wonders of nature and see the devastating effects of global warming on ecosystems.

It aims to captivate and inspire tomorrow’s environmental thinkers and doers.
