Roger E McManus

Roger grew  up in Tucson and the Sonoran Desert, and this ecosystem is the home he  returned to from much of his career in Washington D.C.  He worked in the  first Endangered Species Office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,  in two Administrations of the Executive Office of the President of the  United States, and in the Office of the Secretary of the U.S. Department  of the Interior.  He was the CEO of the Center for Marine Conservation  for twenty years, and was a senior staff member for Conservation  International.

He is fervent in his support of the Save the Scenic Santa Ritas as  the most effective advocate for the region’s biological and human communities.
