Reflecting on his appointment, Akerlof shared, “Joining the Board of Directors of Earthrace Conservation Costa Rica is both an honor and a profound responsibility. My adventures with the Earthrace team have shown me the power of direct action in conservation and the critical need for strategic leadership to amplify our impact. I am excited to bring my experiences and insights to the boardroom, driving forward initiatives that protect our planet for future generations.”

Pete Bethune, founder of Earthrace Conservation, expressed his enthusiasm for Akerlof’s new role, stating, “Will’s passion for adventure and his commitment to our cause have been evident from the moment he joined us. Having him on our Board of Directors not only strengthens our team but also brings a fresh perspective on how we can further our mission. His unique blend of business acumen and hands-on conservation experience will be invaluable as we navigate the challenges ahead.”
