"His interest in biogeography resulted in his being one of the first prominent scientists to raise concerns over the environmental impact of human activity."

Way ahead of his time on that front!

Yeah, he was a very interesting old dude in all respects, more than inspired Darwin, was a pacifist, a spiritualist , and of course an environmentalist before it was even though on.
First read about him at University, and only at a cursory level.
He did suffer a broken heart badly though, which sort of made him give in quite a bit.
Infact I'm inclined to read more now:-)
