Why Is Harry Frederick Recher Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Emeritus Professor Harry Frederick Recher RZS AM is an Australian ecologist, ornithologist and advocate for conservation. Recher grew up in the United States of America. He studied at the State University of New York College of Forestry and received his B.S. in 1959 from Syracuse University. At Stanford University, ecologist Paul Ehrlich, supervised his PhD on migratory shorebirds that was awarded in 1964. Ehrlich became a lifelong friend and mentor to Recher; also sharing his commitment to a strong sense of social responsibility of science. Recher held an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University. In his early career, Recher worked with leading American ecologists Eugene Odum and Robert McArthur.
