Speaker Bio’s

Rebecca Keeble – oversees all of IFAW’s programmes in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

Rebecca’s two-decade career has taken her from indigenous communities to international conventions. She has travelled across the region to set up companion animal support programmes, develop conservation strategies for marine animals and advocate for endangered species at every level of government. Rebecca has advised the Australian Government on a host of conservation issues. As a member of the Australian delegation, she has advocated for animals in a variety of international forums, including CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), CMS (Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals) and UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).

John Albrecht is the proprietor and CEO of Australia’s largest multi-category auction house Leonard Joel and a member of IFAW’s International Board. Through Rebecca’s advocacy for change in 2016, IFAW and Leonard Joel developed and adopted an industry-leading policy relating to the cessation of auction trade in elephant ivory and rhinoceros horn. Since then John has been a global leader seeking the wider adoption of this policy and industry change, speaking at international industry conferences and giving evidence to the Parliamentary inquiry into Australia’s domestic ivory and rhinoceros horn trade.
