Philippe is the Executive Director of the International Foundation for the Conservation of Wildlife (IGF) in Paris.  The IGF is a very active foundation with ongoing projects in 38 African countries.  It has projects around the globe from Brazil and Bolivia to Mongolia.  It was founded by H.I.H. Prince Abdorezza who was recognized as the “greatest hunter in the world” by Craig Boddington and who received every conceivable award as proof of that fact.  Baron Bertrand des Clers was IGF’s Executive Director before Philippe replaced him in 2001.  Philippe was groomed by the Prince and Bertrand to head the IGF and it was the expressed wish of both that Philippe replace Bertrand on the Conservation Force Board of Directors whenever Bertrand became unable to serve.
