A biography of Charles Waterton, the man who opened the first nature reserve in the grounds of his English home, housing 123 species of birds over 30 years. Fascinated by birds, his interest in nature took him to South America and Canada. He brought large quantities of curare, still used in modern medicine, into Europe in the belief that it might cure rabies, and he invented the Waterton method, a way of preserving animals without stuffing them.
