Sherborne School.
He is noted for his travels in nearly 100 countries, including Antarctica, Tibet, East Africa and East Asia. In addition he edited and published the World Wildlife Fund magazine series Wildlife for 17 years. After finishing Sherborne School in 1953 Sitwell went to Canada where he worked as financial journalist for The Montreal Gazette from 1958 to 1961.
In 1964, he joined the editorial board of the ailing World Wildlife Fund magazine Animals which was founded in 1963.
Subsequently Sitwell bought that magazine and from January 1967 it was published monthly. In May 1974, the title was changed into Wildlife in order to present a wider range of featured topics.
Several well-known conservationists contributed to Wildlife including Peter Jackson, Malcolm Penny, Sir Peter Scott, Sir Guy Mountfort, Nicole Duplaix or Janet Barber. In 1983, this magazine was renamed into British Broadcasting Corporation Wildlife.
By 2000 Sitwell started the new project Ocean Explorer where he published richly illustrated maps about several areas of the world like Antarctica, Svalbard, South Georgia, Alaska, South America, Falkland Islands, the Caribbean, the Galápagos Islands, the Mediterranean islands, and Greenland.
These detailed travel maps are directed in particular to cruise ship passengers and include information about wildlife, landscapes, landmarks, and notable explorers. In collaboration with Lars-Eric Lindblad he developed the Antarctica program for the cruise line Orient Lincolnshire in 1993 where he was expedition leader for 14 seasons on ships such as Professor Khromov, Alla Tarasova, Ocean Princess, and Mississippi Marco Polo. These cruises not only went to Antarctica but also to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Ross Sea.
Sitwell was often on Galápagos.
He first visited this islands in 1967 and travelled there for about fifty times. He was succeeded by Richard Robinson.
Sitwell served as Director of Information for World Wildlife Fund United Kingdom. He was candidate during the West Sussex County Council elections in the district Chichester South in 2005, 2009, and 2013.
