    Meet our Board: Dr Fanny de Busserolles

    Co-Founder & Chief Program Officer

    Fanny is a Certified Environmental Practitioner with a PhD in Animal Biology and Neuroscience.

    After more than a decade in academia researching the sensory ecology of marine animals, she transitioned into conservation and community engagement.

    Based in Brisbane, she is a passionate advocate for sustainability and wildlife, committed to raising environmental awareness and inspiring meaningful action.

    People For Nature is about giving people the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take simple yet meaningful action for nature—right where they are. By connecting these individual efforts into a broader, citizen-led network, we can transform backyards, farms, and cities into a collective force for conservation.

    I believe that when everyone does their small part, these small actions grow into something far greater—strengthening ecosystems, deepening our connection to nature, and contributing to a shared vision for Australia’s future.

    Meet our Board: Audrey Barucchi

    Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer

    A Certified Environmental Practitioner and purpose-driven executive with an MBA in Global Management, Audrey has extensive experience in cleantech, conservation, scientific communications, and sustainability project management.

    Based in Brisbane, she is a passionate wildlife advocate dedicated to fostering community engagement for biodiversity conservation and driving educational initiatives that inspire action. 

    Through my work with People For Nature, I’ve come to believe that the solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises already exist — in people, in nature, and in the collective courage of citizens who choose to act rather than wait.

    For too long, many of us believed change would come from somewhere else — through global agreements or technological breakthroughs. But hope without action is not enough.

    What gives me optimism is witnessing everyday people stepping into their power: communities coming together, sharing knowledge, and building solutions grounded in care, justice, and systems thinking.

    We are fortunate to live in a democracy, where our voices and choices matter. As I often say, criticising is easy — building alternatives takes courage. And that courage is what drives real, lasting change.
