It may be, though it seems unlikely, that the gene for being a Chief Executive also removes your interest in social media.
Prompted by the arrival of the CEO of Wildlife and Countryside link on Twitter, @ElaineWCL, I thought I’d just run through the other CEOs of wildlife conservation organisations who are on Twitter (and not just in a personal capacity). This is what I found:
BTO, @_AndyClements, 3650 followers, 5064 tweets
Butterfly Conservation, @martinswarren, 1475 followers, 4686 tweets
RSPB, @mike__clarke, 1366 followers, 841 tweets
WWFUK, @DavidNussbaum1, 1365 followers, 581 tweets
Buglife, @MattEAShardlow, 1088 followers, 3831 tweets
Wildlife Trusts, @stephhilborne, 511 followers, 91 tweets
Marine Conservation Society, @SamFanshawe, 155 followers, 207 tweets
They aren’t the most active bunch of tweeters in the world, so Elaine may be catching some of them up quite quickly, but they may be worth a follow. I would rate Matt Shardlow, Andy Clements and Martin Warren as good Twitter accounts to follow – but it all depends on what interests you.
Have you spotted any other tweeting wildlife CEOs out there?

Hi Mark
I’m the CEO of the tiny Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and today we have reached 6000 followers on Twitter, not bad for a very small island-based charity. I do tweet and have found it an invaluable communication tool.
Sarah Mason
Sarah – many thanks!
A great and interesting post Mark, though the number of tweets and followers is not the complete picture, the quality of communication from the CEOs should also be considered.
