Marcus is passionate about the role of organizations like Delterra in tackling the triple planetary crisis and implementing practical, on-the-ground solutions to benefit communities around the world. In his words, “There are too few organizations like Delterra who have the courage to take on the challenges we face and work to improve the lives of the communities they serve. Delterra is a great organization, with great people, committed to making the world a better place.”
