He was executive director of Friends of the Earth (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) between 2003–08[1] and vice chair of Friends of the Earth International between 2000–08.[2][3]

He was the Green Party's candidate for Cambridge at the 2010 general election. In 2019, he was appointed chair of Natural England.

Early life

edit

Juniper was born in Oxford,[4][5] and is the son of Austin Juniper and Constance Margaret Elliston, who married in Oxford in 1951.[6] His mother was a waitress and his father, a WWII veteran, worked at the Cowley car plant, Plant Oxford.[7][8]

He grew up in Oxford, where he developed an early interest in natural history. He attended St Christopher's primary school in Cowley and Temple Cowley secondary modern, transferring to the former Oxford boys' grammar school (after it became a comprehensive). He worked for a year at Raymond Blanc's Great Milton restaurant Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.[9]

Juniper attended the University of Bristol, where he was awarded a joint honours BSc in psychology and zoology in 1983, a choice reflecting his interest in animal behaviour.[10] He spent much of that time exploring south west England, including the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels.[11] He went on to gain an MSc and diploma in nature conservation from University College London in 1988.[12][13]

Career

edit

Early career

edit

Juniper began his conservation career with the South Oxfordshire Countryside Education Trust between 1984–85,[14] later undertaking work for Saudi Arabia's National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development (now National Center for Wildlife) while studying for his MSc in 1988.[15] After a period of freelance research, he joined the International Council for Bird Preservation (now BirdLife International) as a parrot conservation officer in 1989.[4][16]

Friends of the Earth

edit

He joined Friends of the Earth in 1990 as a senior campaigner, leading the organisation's tropical rainforest campaign in the UK and internationally.[17] He took forward its work on biodiversity and forests from 1993,[18][19] and later became involved in transport policy,[20] leading Friends of the Earth's campaign against the Newbury bypass.[21] He became campaigns director in 1995 and policy and campaigns director in 1998,[15][22] playing a leading part in initiatives on GM crops, world trade and industrial pollution.[23] He chaired the coalition that resulted in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which established a public right to roam over open uplands and common land, reformed public rights of way and strengthened nature conservation protections.[24]

Juniper became executive director for Friends of the Earth (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) in 2003–08[25] and oversaw the campaign that secured the inclusion of a Climate Change Bill in the November 2006 Queen's Speech.[26][27] The campaign was delivered via Friends of the Earth's Big Ask initiative over 2005–08, when Juniper worked with Radiohead's Thom Yorke.[28] The resulting Climate Change Act 2008 was the first of its kind and has been a model copied around the world.[29] The Act legally obliges the UK Government to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions,[30] establishes a system of five-year carbon budgets[31] and an independent Committee on Climate Change to advise on targets, and originally set an 80% reduction by 2050 (strengthened to net zero, a 100% reduction, in 2019).[32]

Other roles

edit

Juniper has chaired the rainforest charity Cool Earth[33][34] and acted as a council member of Fauna & Flora International.[35][36] He has also advised Union Bancaire Privée as a member of its impact advisory board[37] and as co-chair of its biodiversity recovery fund advisory committee.[38]

He is a fellow of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership[39][40] and has acted as a special adviser to the Prince of Wales Charities' international sustainability unit and the Prince's Rainforests Project.[41] Juniper has also advised companies including Danone, Skanska and Interserve assisting with their sustainability strategies[42] – and was a co-founder of the Robertsbridge Group, which provides advice to companies on sustainability matters.[43]

In 2008 Juniper was one of the authors of the Green New Deal Group's report A Green New Deal, which proposed tackling the financial crisis, climate change and energy insecurity together through financial reform and investment in renewables.[44] Between 2007–12, Juniper was a director of Climate for Ideas, a climate communications organisation, and from 2008 he served on the advisory board of Sandbag, a climate policy think tank.

In 2009, he became an ambassador for the National Trust's Wicken Fen Vision, a landscape-scale conservation project centred on Wicken Fen – and in October of that year he was elected a trustee of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust.[45] He served as president of the Wildlife Trusts from 2015–19.

He was an expert panel member for Bioregional's One Planet Communities programme,[46] and an advisor to the Science Museum, London as part of the development of its Atmosphere exhibition.[47] Juniper chaired 10:10 Climate Action (now Possible)[48] and the advisory board of Action for Renewables. Since 2012, he has been a patron of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management.[49]

From 2017–19, Juniper was executive director (advocacy and campaigns) at WWF-UK, where he led the organisation's UK advocacy, policy engagement and campaigning work.[50][51] This included oversight of WWF-UK's participation in coalitions such as Greener UK during the development of post-Brexit environmental governance.[52][53] During this time, Juniper argued that ecological restoration should be central to economic policy,[54] contending that recovering the natural environment is "one of the soundest investments that society can make" rather than a cost.[55][56] He also wrote that overconsumption of animal protein is a pressure on the world's soils, contending that reduced consumption of livestock-based food and less food waste[57] would lower agricultural land use.[58]

Natural England

In March 2019, the Environment Secretary Michael Gove[59] proposed Juniper as chair of Natural England, the government's statutory adviser on the natural environment in England.[15][60] As a condition of the appointment, the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and Environmental Audit committees required that he refrain from political activity and divest his interests in the Robertsbridge Group, a sustainability consultancy he co-founded. He also undertook to relinquish his membership of the Green Party and to step down from his executive role at WWF-UK.[15] He took up the post in April 2019[61] and served as an ex officio member of the Defra board between 2019–24.[62]

Juniper was reappointed for a second term in December 2021,[63][64] and for a third term in March 2025,[65] running from April 2025 to April 2027, which made him the longest-serving chair of Natural England.[66] During his chairmanship the agency oversaw the introduction of biodiversity net gain,[67] landscape-scale nature recovery projects[68] and the King's Series of national nature reserves,[69][70] and its budget roughly tripled from its 2019 level.[71]

Natural England acts as the licensing authority for the badger cull, conducted under Defra policy to control bovine tuberculosis. Juniper, who had voiced reservations about the cull before his appointment, said he would be guided by the evidence and that the policy was set by ministers, not Natural England;[72] some conservationists nonetheless criticised the agency for licensing the killing of a protected species.[73][74] In May 2026, Defra confirmed that badger culling had effectively ended in England, with a planned shift towards vaccination.[75]

In 2025, as Natural England took on a role administering a developer-funded nature restoration fund under the UK Government's planning reforms,[76] Juniper publicly disputed ministers' suggestions that nature was blocking development, saying the claim was not fully backed by evidence.[77][78] Critics questioned a potential conflict of interest in the agency receiving developer funds while also regulating development.[79]

Defending Natural England's role, Juniper rejected the idea that nature and development were opposed, telling a parliamentary inquiry session that "it is not either–or, they are co-dependent".[80] Asked about the HS2 "bat tunnel", a £100m structure built to protect rare bats and criticised as wasteful,[81] Juniper said in 2025 that Natural England wanted fewer such schemes, arguing the money would have been better spent expanding the bats' habitat and citing it as an example of the site-by-site approach the agency was moving away from.[82] In 2025 Natural England adopted a new strategy, Recovering Nature for Growth, Health and Security, reframing nature recovery as underpinning economic development, public health and national security.[83][84]

He has supported the ecological case for reintroducing predators such as the lynx, comparing an ecosystem without them to "a watch with some of the cogs pulled out".[8][85] Around the publication of his 2015 book What Nature Does for Britain, Juniper advocated for a Nature and Wellbeing Act – a legal framework for nature recovery modelled on the Climate Change Act – endorsed by the Wildlife Trusts and RSPB.[86][87][88] In 2020, he addressed the UK Climate Assembly, a citizens' assembly briefing members on how the UK could reach net zero, on the links between climate change and biodiversity.[89]

Parrot conservation

Juniper is a recognised authority on parrots, having worked at BirdLife International on efforts to conserve rare species of these birds. In 1990, he and Brazilian ornithologist Carlos Yamashita located the last known Spix's macaw in the wild, one of the world's most endangered birds.[90][91] In his 2003 book Spix's Macaw: The Race to Save the World's Rarest Bird he criticised private holders of birds – such as Antonio de Dios's Birds International – arguing that Spix's macaws should be returned to their native Brazil for captive breeding and reintroduction to their declining natural habitat.[92] Juniper has claimed that the 2011 film Rio is based on his book.[93][94] His 1998 book with Mike Parr, Parrots of the World, was recognised as Reference Book of the Year by the Library Association in 1999.[95]

Political campaigns

edit

In January 2009, Juniper was selected as the Green Party's parliamentary candidate in the 2010 general election for the Cambridge constituency.[96][97] He campaigned on combining economic and environmental renewal, arguing that the established approach of prioritising growth first and the environment later had failed.[98][99] Radiohead's Thom Yorke, with whom he had worked on the Big Ask campaign, played a one-off benefit gig in support of Juniper's candidacy.[100][101] He finished in fourth place, receiving 7.6% of the vote, an increase of 4.7 percentage points compared with the previous election.[102][103]

Prior to the 2015 general election, he was one of several public figures who endorsed the parliamentary candidacy of the Green Party's Caroline Lucas.[104]

Media appearances

edit

In a 2014 TEDxWWF talk on bioeconomy, Juniper contended that economic systems must sustain the biosphere on which they depend, and that the economy should be understood as "a subset of nature and not the other way around".[105] In his 2012 TEDxExeter talk on the theme of What Has Nature Ever Done for Us?, Juniper argued that the economy should be regarded "as a wholly owned subsidiary of ecology and the natural environment".[106]

From 2009–12 Juniper was editor-in-chief of Green magazine, published first with National Geographic and later The Guardian, and he wrote a green living column for The Sunday Times over 2009–10.[41][15] He has written for The Guardian on the economics of biodiversity, declining wildlife and the links between farming, soil health and flooding.[107]

In March 2025, Juniper discussed his book Just Earth on Channel 4 News, arguing that environmental degradation and social inequality are closely connected and that the Earth's resources should be shared more fairly.[108] He was the subject of an episode of BBC Radio 4's The Life Scientific in March 2026, interviewed by Jim Al-Khalili about his career from parrot conservation to environmental campaigning and his role at Natural England.[109]

Recognition

edit

Juniper was described[110] as one of "the most effective eco-warriors" in Britain by The Independent (2008)[111] and one of the top ten environmental figures of the last 30 years by The ENDS Report in 2008.[112] In 2005, Country Life ranked him 25th in a list of the 100 most influential figures shaping the countryside.[113] He was ranked 26th in an Environment Agency list of "the greatest eco-heroes of all time" in 2006.[114]

Juniper was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to conservation. In November 2009, he was the inaugural recipient of the Rothschild Medal, created by the Wildlife Trusts in honour of Charles and Miriam Rothschild.[39] He received a Chromy Award from the Conscience Institute in Monaco in 2013.[citation needed]

In 2014, he was awarded the professional qualification of chartered environmentalist by CIEEM[15] and received the CIEEM Medal in 2023.[115][116] Juniper is an honorary fellow of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (2008), the Society for the Environment (2023),[117] the Royal Geographical Society (2024) and the Landscape Institute (2025).[118]

Juniper received honorary DSc degrees from the University of Bristol[119] and the University of Plymouth in 2013,[120] and from the University of the West of England in 2022.[121] He was appointed professor of practice at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in 2016.[122] The university's sustainability teaching draws on the concept of "harmony" explored in Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World (2010),[123][124] which he co-wrote with the then Prince of Wales and Ian Skelly.[125]

Personal life

edit

Juniper met Sue Sparkes during his first week at the University of Bristol, and they married in 1990.[4][5] They have two sons, Nye and Sam, and one daughter, Maddie, and live in Cambridgeshire.[10] A keen birder since his youth, he also enjoys fishing.[126]
