Dr Nigel Simpson, WLT trustee and founder of the Jocotoco Foundation.

Dr Nigel Simpson was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours List, published on June 11 2005.

A chemist by profession, he created important aids for eye surgery. He is also an enthusiastic naturalist and ornithologist, he has travelled widely in South America and has created his own wildlife haven around his home in Gwent. Dr Simpson joined the Board of Trustees of the World Land Trust in 2002.
