Julian Robertson, a colossus of cat conservation

David Macdonald writes: I am very sad to mark the death of Julian Robertson, the kindly colossus behind the Robertson Foundation whose support has been crucial  to the WildCRU’s work on cat conservation globally (as it has been also to the work of our close colleagues at Panthera, see https://panthera.org/newsroom/statement-panthera-life-and-legacy-philanthropist-and-tiger-conservation-champion-julian). Julian Robertson was not only a generous philanthropist but a loyal and humorous  friend, and our continued, tireless work on felid conservation – including the tigers he so loved – will be our best memorial to him.
