Sir Peter Scott is, sadly, no longer living, therefore doesn't qualify for the same designation as Sir David of greatest living Englishman.jackharr wrote:I knew Peter Scott personally so there! Ya boo and sucks!hoping to meet the greatest living Englishman - Sir David Attenborough

Whether Sir Peter would qualify against Sir David if he were still alive is open to conjecture, although both did much to initiate and subsequently further nature conservation.
Their contributions have been different but equally important, with Sir David concentrating on broadcasting, and Sir Peter founding the Wildfowl Trusts.
Series such as the 'Life' and 'Planet' series have highlighted global natural history like no other and are immensely important.
Sir Peter's contribution has led to the saving of at least one endangered species, namely the Hawiian goose, the ne ne. It's wonderful to see this incredibly rare goose wandering amongst the visitors at Slimbridge.
