Brett Howell
Brett Howell is the Founder of the Howell Conservation Fund (HCF), a non-profit
organization that addresses the root causes of conservation issues. Brett has been a conservationist since his youth, wading in tidal pools and SCUBA diving along the California coast. This trajectory carried through to adulthood. In 2019, Brett carried Flag #97 to Henderson Island – one of the most remote areas on the globe – to lead the clean up of the world’s most plastic-polluted beach. The expedition was featured in publications worldwide and resulted in multiple scientific papers, stunning artwork, and heightened awareness of plastic impacts on wildlife. In addition to developing solutions to plastic pollution, HCF is engaged in projects including coral reef management, environmental behavior change, and wildlife conservation.

During his time at the BBC Tom survived–and subsequently covered–the 2015 Earthquake in Nepal and worked undercover in the Middle-East to report on ISIS. Tom’s passion for in-depth reporting was a natural transition to documentaries.

He collaborates on his projects with Diamond Docs and the BBC.
