Archie Carr III

Archie Carr III, PhD., is an American biologist instrumental in establishing the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in the nation of Belize. Carr worked closely with American biologist A.R. Rabinowitz in convincing the government of Belize of the importance of that land area to the survival of the jaguar species; in fact, Carr was the original mentor of Rabinowitz in preparing the young Rabinowitz for research in the tropics. [Katherine M. Emmons et al., "Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary", Producciones de la Hamaca, Belize and Orang-utan Press, Gays Mills, Wisconsin, USA (1996)] Carr has been associated with the Wildlife Conservation Society and has authored numerous papers and monographs on biology in Central America. Carr is the son of eminent American zoologist Archie Carr.
