The first full biography of field biologist George Schaller by Miriam Horn is available for pre-order now from Penguin Press.
In May 2024, just shy of 91, Schaller visited jaguar conservationists working on the border where the New World’s only great cat used to cross freely from Mexico into a range that stretched from California to Texas. I was invited to join by Beth Wald, a photographer who traveled with George many times in central Asia and Latin America; and Turtle Southern, who helped establish the Northern Jaguar Reserve in Sonora, MX and is now with the Rewilding Institute.
