Kevin Bixby
he/him
Co-Executive Director
Kevin is founder and co-executive director of Wildlife for All, previously known as the Southwest Environmental Center. He received a BS in Biology from Dartmouth College, and a MS in Natural Resources Policy at the University of Michigan. After decades of advocating for wildlife, he realized that as long as the people who viewed wild animals as soulless resources were making all the decisions about how they should be managed, wildlife advocates would be fighting endless rearguard actions to stop bad things from happening, and rewilding would remain a distant dream. So he decided to launch Wildlife for All, a national campaign to reform state wildlife management to be more ecologically-driven, democratic and compassionate. The first Wildlife for All conference was held in 2018.
He lives in the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico where he and his wife enjoy the sunsets and coyotes.
