I first started the online wildlife biologist memorial in the late 1990s, but only maintained it for a few years before letting the project lapse. It was re-started a few years ago as a page at thewildlifebiologist.com but I decided that the topic really deserved a site devoted solely to the wildlife biologists and other wildlife workers who lost their lives while researching or managing wildlife in the United States and this site was born on May 22, 2016.
I’m currently in the process of moving material from the old site to this one and hope to have that completed soon.
