National Geographic Society/Buffett Award for Leadership in Conservation

Recipients for 2007 were Jorge Orejuela, founder and director of the Cali Botanical Garden in Colombia, and Bila-Isia Inogwabini, World Wildlife Fund leader for the Lac Tumba Landscape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Note that Bila-Isia Inogwabini's name follows the Western convention of given name followed by family name, although traditionally his ethnic group uses the opposite order.
