Iain Douglas-Hamilton: The Architect of Conservation in Footsteps of Silent Giants

During the second week of December 2025, the world lost the renowned scientist, elephant expert, and conservationist Iain Douglas-Hamilton. Douglas-Hamilton breathed his last at the age of 83 in the capital city of Kenya, Nairobi. His departure toward the end of 2025 is not merely the death of one individual, it should be taken as the resting of a living history of elephant conservation.
