About Our Honoree
Alan Rabinowitz, sometimes called the “Indiana Jones of Wildlife Conservation,” has been selected to receive the 2016 Roy Chapman Andrews Society Distinguished Explorer Award.
Rabinowitz has pursued twin passions with equal intensity for more than three decades: the study of large cats and the preservation of their natural habitats. His work has led to some of the first and most extensive studies of such predatory cats as jaguars, tigers, and multiple species of leopards and to the development of vast conservation areas.
