Darran Keogh came to Biosphere Expeditions as an expedition leader without a scientific background and left with a drive to pursue conservation through further education — a transformation that reflects the impact these expeditions can have, even for staff members.
Based in Ireland, Darran’s main job is ‘delivering and leading courses in the mountains.’ However, when he came across Biosphere Expeditions and applied for an expedition leader position, he was looking for added value; an opportunity to apply his existing skills in a different context – snow leopard volunteering seemed a good one.
