Archie Fairly Carr

1909-1987

Archie Carr, originally from Mobile, Alabama, developed a deep interest in nature, particularly reptiles, during his childhood camping trips. His educational journey took him to various institutions, where he studied English, zoology, and eventually earned a PhD from the University of Florida. Carr's research and conservation efforts focused on sea turtles, leading him to establish the Caribbean Conservation Corporation and receive prestigious awards for his contributions to the field. Alongside his scientific publications, Carr also wrote engaging works for the general audience, exploring topics such as his experiences in Honduras and the natural history of sea turtles. His legacy lives on through the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge and posthumously published works.
