William Temple Hornaday was a prominent American zoologist, conservationist, and author, best known for his pioneering work in wildlife preservation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He played a crucial role in raising awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species and their habitats. Hornaday was instrumental in founding the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., where he served as the first director. His passionate advocacy for wildlife conservation led to significant legislative changes aimed at preserving various species that were on the brink of extinction.

In addition to his conservation efforts, Hornaday authored several influential books that educated the public about wildlife and natural history. His works, such as "Our Vanishing Wild Life" and "The Minds and Manners of Wild Animals," not only documented the decline of various species but also proposed strategies for their preservation. His legacy continues to inspire conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts, making him a key figure in the history of American environmentalism.
