Vale Peter Oliver
SCEC was saddened to hear of the passing of the charasmatic and wonderful conservationist Peter Oliver. Long time friend and collegue Susie Chapman said, "In his lifetime he inspired so many with his infectiously enthusiastic and intelligent approach to collaborative management of our environment. In the last year that inspiration reached new heights as he publicly came to terms with his own mortality and left behind a lasting legacy of active and thoughtful service for the betterment of our world. I feel richer for knowing this mountain of a man". SCEC sends condolances to his family and friends.
