Jessica Elizabeth Craig, known as Jecca Craig, is an environmental conservationist and doctoral student at University College London.[1] She helped found Panthera, the world's largest wildcat conservation organization and Stop Ivory, an independent NGO aiming to protect elephant and stop the trade in ivory. She is currently[when?] completing a doctorate on the use of remote camera traps and other technology to monitor and manage protected areas.
Her family formerly ran a cattle ranch at Lewa in Kenya; her father Ian Craig founded the Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary on the family's land, and went on to found the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, which incorporated the original sanctuary.[2]
Craig is a former girlfriend of the Prince of Wales.[3] In October 2008, she became engaged to Hugh Crossley, a director at the investment company Equitix, but they separated in October 2009.[3] In April 2015, she became engaged to Canadian professor Jonathan Baillie, director of conservation at the Zoological Society of London.[4] Craig married Jonathan Baillie on Saturday, 26 March 2016[5] at her family estate at Lewa with the Prince of Wales, then Duke of Cambridge, as one of the guests.[6]
