David de Rothschild

Environmentalist 

David de Rothschild: David is an adventurer, environmentalist and the founder of MYOO. It is MYOO's goal to inspire dreams, fuel conversation, share innovations and activate change in order to give nature a voice.

David's passion and commitment to action has seen him ski, dogsled and kite to both the North and South poles as well as visiting some of the world's most remote and fragile regions in order to bring wide-spread media attention and, moreover, solutions to urgent global environmental issues.

From March to July 2010, David and a crew of five undertook the latest expedition, 'the Plastiki', sailing across the Pacific Ocean on a catamaran made buoyant by 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles to beat waste.

In November 2011 David and a core crew traveled into the heart of Brazil's Amazon rainforest to discover the effects of the controversial Belo Monte dam project as part of MYOO's ARTiculate series.

David is recognized as a National Geographic Emerging Explorer, Clean up the World Ambassador, UNEP Climate Hero and a Young Global Leader respectively.
