Charles A Munn III (born in Baltimore, Maryland on 3 December 1954) is an American conservation biologist and ecotourism entrepreneur. Munn is the founder and owner of SouthWild, a conservation-based ecotourism company that offers high-end photo safaris throughout South America. In 2013, Condé Nast Traveller chose him as one of worlds's three leading experts on wildlife tourism, and the only one for South America. From 1984-2000 he was a conservation field biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society. He also founded Peru Verde Conservation Group, the BioBrasil Foundation, and Tropical Nature Conservation Group. Munn is an American citizen but spends most of his time in Brazil and Chile. In 2005, Munn issued the world's first and only jaguar guarantee (in north Pantanal, Brazil), and in 2011 he did the same for pumas (in Torres del Paine, Chile). No one else has ever issued such a guarantee, and these guarantees still stand. He is based in the Mato Grosso state.
