A new book is out about one of Australia’s greatest conservationists and strategists. The book covers the personal journey of Peter Hitchcock AM. Peter died five years ago and his obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald (an appendix in the book) mentions that the conservation world mourned his loss due to his world-wide influence.
