About me
Jamie Workman is a dynamic storyteller whose work with hunter-gatherers sparked new thinking about how we replenish freshwater, marine fisheries, and wildlands. Jamie founded AquaShares Inc., which pioneered online water credit trading in California & Morocco; wrote the forthcoming Sea Change and the award-winning Heart of Dryness, two narrative nonfiction books on rights-based conservation; advised political leaders from Nelson Mandela to U.S. Cabinet officials; studied at Yale and Oxford and taught at Wesleyan & Whitman colleges. But his real education came from blowing up dams, releasing wolves, restoring wildland fires, guiding safaris, smuggling water to dissidents, breaking down in Africa's Kalahari Desert, and becoming a husband and dad (not ranked in that order).
