He was the UTG's first president when it formed in March 1972, through to the middle 1970s.[1] At the time Jones was an academic biologist working at the University of Tasmania.[2] He helped form the Centre for Environmental Studies Unit at the University of Tasmania and was active in transforming the Australian Conservation Foundation from an apolitical to a political force.[3]
