CEO Will Travers.Courtesy of Born Free USA.When Alex Shoumatoff began his expansive, global reporting for the story that would become “Agony and Ivory,” one of the people he looked to was Will Travers, C.E.O. of the Born Free Foundation. The organization was started by Travers’s parents, the actors Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. Born Free proved instrumental in coordinating Shoumatoff’s logistics, such as accommodations and transportation; it also helped arrange essential meetings, perhaps most notably with Julius Kipng’etich, director of the Kenyan Wildlife Services, who was photographed for V.F. by Guillaume Bonn surrounded by the confiscated tusks of slain elephants. Over the phone, Will Travers spoke to Vf Daily about his life in conservation.
