Remembering Max Nicholson
Have you ever heard of a man called
Max Nicholson?
My guess is that you haven't, but that you will have heard of SOME of the organisations he established, helped to found, or ran during his incredible career.
They include The
World Wide Fund for Nature (1961), The
International Institute for Environment and Development , The
Nature Conservancy (1949), The
British Trust for Ornithology (1933), The
Edward Grey Institute and
Oxford University's Exploration Club (1926).
Max also found time to allocate tonnage to ships during the seige of Britain in World War II, to organise the 1951
Festival of Britain, to be a trustee for
Earthwatch Europe and President of the
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
Wow!
Who says you can't make a difference!
If you would like to know more, you can read his
obiturary and Sir Crispin Tickell's
memorial address here.
