Fülszöveg


This is the story of Peter Scott, famous artist, sportsman
and tireless campaigner for the wildlife of the world.
Without him, many species would already be extinct.
Born in England, the only child of explorer Captain
Scott, Peter lost his father to the Antarctic blizzards
when he was two. His fascination with nature and his
artistic talents appeared early on; no-one was surprised
when he went off to paint birds in East Anglia.
In his travels, watching and painting birds, Scott

the World Wide Fund for Nature (now the world's biggest
conservation charity), and also devised the Red Data

Books to pinpoint endangered animals and plants
around the planet.
Sir David Attenborough once described Sir Peter as
"the patron saint of conservation". Seen as the father of
the modern conservation movement, few have done
more to make people aware of the world's disappearing
plants and creatures. Vissza
