Scott NCUACS 87/8/99 SECTION D TRAVEL The material described in this section documents Scott’s travels from 1945 to 1989. During this period he visited many parts of the world, mostly in connection with his interest in wildlife and his work as an international conservationist. Scott was frequently accompanied on his travels by his second wife, Philippa, whom he married during his expedition to Iceland in 1951. As a respected authority on conservation matters and a high profile public figure, Scott received numerous invitations to visit areas with important wildlife populations and advise on their conservation. Although he was a self-taught ornithologist, Scott’s abilities in this field were highly respected and he led, or took part in, expeditions to various parts of the world to study wildfowl in their breeding grounds. As Chairman of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), 1961-1982, Scott made numerous trips abroad to represent the organisation and to participate in fundraising activities. From the 1960s his visits to the United States frequently included engagements for the Fund’s benefit. Scott was in demand as a speaker and sometimes travelled long distances to attend conferences, symposia and meetings. The majority of these were concerned with conservation issues, such as the International Union for the 1965. November 1956 to February 1957. The papers are arranged as follows: Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) Conference held in Bangkok, Thailand, in to show on his series Faraway Look.
