Azza is the Director of the Pangolin Crisis Fund where she is focusing on tackling the threats to pangolins from the illegal wildlife trade. She is a former British diplomat specializing in security issues, but moved into conservation due to her passion for wildlife. Azza combined her technical skills with a love of wildlife by training rangers in Kenya to prevent wildlife crime, and then worked with Save The Elephants and WCN’s Elephant Crisis Fund on their counter-wildlife trafficking program.  Recognizing the severe threats that pangolins are facing, Azza joined the Pangolin Crisis Fund in 2021 to tackle this challenge head on. Azza also loves dogs and so in her spare time she hangs out with Teddy, a rescue dog that she is training in conservation scent detection.
