内容简介
Here s how it works:
T.F.H. Publications was started in 1947 by Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod. As a
science faculty member of New York University, he was one of the first
conservationists, warning students as well as the pet industry that it was
necessary to protect the environment and to conserve our wildlife. Dr. Axelrod
wrote and TFH published many of his books and books by other authors, dealing
with the proper selection, care and breeding of all kinds of pet and laboratory
animals. Soon (1960) TFH became the largest and most successful publisher of
pet and animal books in the world.
In 1990, Dr. Axelrod retired and in 1991 he started the Dr. HerbertR. Axelrod
Foundation, a Non-profit Corporation. He dedicated the resources in this fund
to buying land in Brazil (and, perhaps, other places) for conservation and study,
prohibiting all kinds of exploitation of the living things, fossils and space on the
land. The land, fossils and other specimens of natural history would be turned
over to major institutions like the American Museum of Natural History, the
Smithsonian Institution, the University of Guelph, as well as to Brazilian
institutions of higher learning. The land and its contents would be solely for study
and conservation.
