This is a great story about a great man, but the post title / url slug "The Last Naturalist" really misses the point. Living close to nature is something that we must bring to the fore for those of us who have lost it. We reach universal ecological literacy not by suggesting that it's dead but by teaching it, and living it.

I'm not quite sure how that title made it in there (unless the submitter broke the HN guidelines by editorializing) but we've restored the article's title above.
