Obituary: Graham Martin Pizzey, A.M., D.App.Sc. (Hon.). Naturalist, Photographer, Author, 4 July 1930–12 November 2001

Abstract

With the death of Graham Pizzey, we have lost a giant among those who have made outstanding contributions to our understanding of the nature of Australia. His infectious enthusiasm and energy, and his rare ability to reach out to ordinary people through his photographs and words, meant that Graham brought conservation alive to thousands upon thousands of Australians. At the same time his intense capacity for detail and scholarship resulted in considerable ornithological achievements.
