In 2003 he was involved in a light plane crash, which left him severely injured and alone in the African bush. He endured extreme temperatures and exposure to predators while he waited for help. He was eventually rescued and the story of his survival was featured in the Channel 4’s ‘ Alive’ and Discovery Channel’s ‘I shouldn’t be alive’ series.
Greg is a conservation biologist who spends almost all of his time researching African wild dogs in Zimbabwe and other African countries. He was the founder of Painted Dog Conservation and has recently set up Painted Dog Research Trust (PDRT) to sustain the research he does by helping young Zimbabweans to get involved.
We worked with Greg when he was a Director of PDC.
