Sir David Attenborough, a renowned naturalist and broadcaster, has hailed Sir Peter Scott as the Patron Saint of Conservation. Peter Scott, a renowned naturalist and conservationist, had a profound influence on the childhood of Sir David Attenborough. Later in life, Sir David had the fortunate opportunity to meet and interview Peter Scott, whom he regards as a hero. Peter Scott's extensive knowledge, kindness, and generous spirit have left a lasting impact on Sir David's own work in natural history.
Meeting one's heroes can sometimes be disappointing, but Sir David's encounter with Peter Scott was nothing short of extraordinary. Peter Scott's life was truly remarkable. He was the only son of legendary explorer Captain Scott, and his godfather was JM Barrie. He was also married to Elizabeth Jane Howard, and he represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland in sailing at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal.
In addition to his achievements in exploration and sports, Peter Scott founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and played a significant role in establishing the Worldwide Fund for Nature. This beautifully re-discovered book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in preserving our planet and the diverse wildlife it supports. Sir David Attenborough's tribute to Sir Peter Scott highlights the profound impact that this remarkable individual had on the world of conservation.
