Sir Peter Scott was born in London in 1909. He was the only child of Robert Falcon Scott the Antarctic explorer and sculptor Kathleen Bruce. Scott was educated at Oundle School and Cambridge University. He went on to study at the Munich State Academy and The Royal Academy Schools, London. Like his mother, Scott displayed a great artistic talent and established himself as one of the country’s leading wildlife painters. He held his first exhibition in 1933 and went on to have numerous solo exhibitions throughout his life. One of Scott’s many achievements were founding the World Wildlife Fund and campaigning endlessly for animal conservation and endangered species. Scott’s dedication, passion and hard work gained him a Knighthood in 1973. He passed away on 29th August 1989.

Sir Peter Markham Scott, CH, CBE, DSC*, FRS, FZS (14 September 1909 – 29 August 1989) was a British ornithologist, conservationist, painter, naval officer, broadcaster, and sportsman. The only child of Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, he took an interest in observing and shooting wildfowl at a young age and later took to their breeding.

He established the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust in Slimbridge in 1946 and helped found the Worldwide Fund for Nature, the logo of which he designed. He was a yachting enthusiast from an early age and took up gliding in midlife. He was part of the UK team for the 1936 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in sailing a one-man dinghy. He was knighted in 1973 for his work in conservation of wild animals and was also a recipient of the WWF Gold Medal and the J. Paul Getty Prize.
