Why Did He Collect?
Russell E. Train
Russell E. Train's experiences on safari in Africa in the 1950s inspired a deep-seated passion for wildlife conservation, which he shared with his wife Aileen. Train (1920¬–2012) dedicated his career to conservation, helping establish the African Wildlife Leadership Foundation, the U.S. World Wildlife Fund, and the Environmental Protection Agency, serving as its first administrator. The books and materials he collected document the history of Western exploration of Africa and Africa's natural history. |
