Quick Profile: Giacomo Abrusci

Founder and Executive Director

Giacomo Abrusci

Giacomo Abrusci has worked in conservation biology for more than twenty years, across field science, scientific publishing and communications. He founded SEVENSEAS Media and runs it as Executive Director and editor.

He studied biology at American University and began his career at Conservation International, working on marine rapid biodiversity assessments in Madagascar and New Caledonia. He went on to scientific publishing and education at the American Chemical Society, and then to global communications at the International Union for Conservation of Nature. SEVENSEAS grew out of that work: a way to connect people and resources inside and beyond the conservation community, with the aim of slowing habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.

Over the past decade his work has taken him from Washington DC to Bangkok, Munich and Milan. He lives in Italy with his husband.
