Notice biographique

Craig Campbell, a resident of Waterloo, was active in the Ontario field naturalist community, and made significant contributions to conservation efforts in Canada through his field research and collaborative work with scientists, academics and conservation agencies. Campbell studied Ontario’s natural heritage (mammals, herpetofauna, plants and butterflies) for more than 50 years, and is responsible for documenting the occurrence of many of Ontario’s threatened and endangered species. He was a member of the Kitchener-Waterloo Field Naturalists (Waterloo Region Nature as of 2014), and served as Chairman of their Conservation Committee from 1964-1971. He also served as Vice President of the Canadian Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Society (CARCS). Campbell received the W.W. H. Gunn Conservation Award in 2014 and the Lieutenant Governor’s Ontario Heritage Trust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
