About Bob Woodruff
ABC News
Bob Woodruff joined ABC News in 1996 and has since covered major stories around the world. In 2006, while reporting on security forces in Iraq, Woodruff was seriously injured by a roadside bomb that struck his vehicle. In 2008, Woodruff began hosting the weekly ABC News-produced “Focus Earth with Bob Woodruff” on the Planet Green television channel.
On Focus Earth, Woodruff covered the environmental news of the week, looking at subjects ranging from climate impact, environmental policy, political debate, world events, and how climate change affects religious and cultural views and issues.
At this Global Conservation event, Woodruff will be discussing parks, wildlife, and indigenous community protection in both land and marine environments.
