We go to great lengths commemorating soldiers who have died fighting
wars for their countries. Why not do the same for the naturalists
who still sometimes give up everything in the effort to understand
life? Neither would diminish the sacrifice of the other. In fact,
many early naturalists were also soldiers, or, like Darwin aboard
HMS. Beagle, were embedded with military expeditions.
With that in mind, I have started to construct a very preliminary
Naturalists' Wall of the Dead, to at least assemble the names in one
place. If I have missed someone, or made other mistakes, please
suggest changes in the comments.
