Jessica Craig, known as Jecca Craig, is an environmental conservationist and doctoral student at University College London. 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 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.

Craig is a former girlfriend of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge. In April 2015, she became engaged to Canadian professor Jonathan Baillie, director of conservation at the Zoological Society of London. Craig married Jonathan Baillie on Saturday, 26 March 2016 at her family estate at Lewa with the Duke of Cambridge as one of the guests.
