Fabio Ausender

Born in New York in 1957, Fabio studied at Cornell University and graduated with a Masters degree in natural resources policy and planning.

Ever interested in conservation and humanitarian projects, he founded the Europe Conservation, a European non-profit organisation that specialises in providing volunteers to small conservation projects in developing countries.  Author of the best-selling Green Volunteers, the World Guide to Voluntary Work in Nature Conservation, he is also active in the humanitarian field and among the founders of the First Italian Ethical Bank.

His expertise in conservation volunteering has since allowed him to co-edit, together with Erin McCloskey, other volunteering guides including World Volunteers, The World Guide to Humanitarian and Development Volunteering, and Archaeo-Volunteers. Married and with a daughter, Fabio lives and works in Italy.
