Wayne Lotter’s death was a shock to the conservation community in Tanzania. Articles and commentaries are right when they describe him as always interacting with a smile or a joke. But that humor cloaked a profound commitment to conservation and African Wildlife. Yes, even to the extent he know his life was in danger. We have lost an important leader and it is up to the rest of us to figure out what needs to be done to fulfill his legacy. It is certainly what Wayne would want.
