Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund 1922

William Temple Hornaday (December 1, 1854 – March 6, 1937) was an American zoologist, conservationist, taxidermist, and author. He served as the first director of the New York Zoological Park, known today as the Bronx Zoo, and he was a pioneer in the early wildlife conservation movement in the United States.

Hornaday started a fund in 1913 called the Permanent Wildlife Protection Fund, abbreviated as PWLPF, that was to be endowed with $100,000 and used to promote wildlife conservation.

Alwin Karl Haagner (1 June 1880 – 15 September 1962) was a South African ornithologist and mammalogist, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Kruger National Park and in early measures to raise awareness and protect Southern African wildlife.

He served for a decade as the director of the Pretoria Zoological Gardens. He wrote numerous works on South African birds and the protection of wildlife.
