Conservationist Edgar Wayburn, 103, Dies
And the longtime conservationist Edgar Wayburn has died at the age of 103. He was a former president of the Sierra Club and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In the 1950s and 1960s he led the movement to create the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in and around San Francisco. In 1980 he helped win passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, which created millions of acres of national parkland. In his later years, Edgar Wayburn advocated for conservation on a global scale.
Edgar Wayburn: "One thing I’ve learned in the past thirty years is, no matter how much and how complete protection we may attain for areas in the United States, if we don’t go outside the United States for protection of areas of the land and the water and the air, and the people, that we’ve lost the war on the environment."
