Akshay Vishwanath
Akshay is the Deputy Director for East Africa at Maliasili. He is fascinated and curious about how ordinary people can come together to do extraordinary things. As such, Akshay has spent most of his life pursuing his passion for mobilizing people, communities, and organizations to tackle our most pressing environmental challenges. He has spent most of his career working on natural resource governance and management and fighting for environmental and social justice. Akshay is fond of travel and adventure, wildlife photography, and a healthy dose of dad jokes.
Fun fact - part of his inspiration to work in conservation came from watching the John Wayne movie “Hatari!” when he was very young.
