George Schaller, Ph.D., the world's preeminent field biologist, is with the Wildlife Conservation Society and has traveled across the globe to work with a variety of species, including two rediscovered species once thought extinct. Schaller began studying mountain gorillas near Rwanda more than 40 years ago, well before Dian Fossey earned recognition for her work through the film "Gorillas in the Mist". He was the first to show how gorillas are really gentle and intelligent, with a highly developed social and family structure, rather than the savage monsters that had been previously depicted.
