Alan rabinowitz conservationist quotes

Known as the "Indiana Jones of wildlife protection," zoologist Alan Rabinowitz was a tireless force in protecting endangered animals and their ecosystems – particularly big cats. Rabinowitz, who died this week at the age of 64, saved the lives of countless tigers, jaguars and other at-risk species by getting their protection onto the agendas of leaders in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

"Like Indiana Jones he went places that other people didn't go. He tried to make discoveries that other people weren't going to make because he had the energy and he had the wherewithal to not sit at his desk and just be writing about biology but to do biology," said Dr. Howard Quigley, a jaguar expert and a lifelong friend of Rabinowitz.

Born in Brooklyn, Rabinowitz had a stutter so severe he was unable to communicate with peers and teachers. Alan rabinowitz conservationist quotes on nature!
