Samuel LaBudde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel LaBudde is an American biologist. He was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 1991[1] for his efforts on preserving wildlife and endangered species.
His videotaping of the praxis of slaughtering dolphins by tuna fishermen resulted in a most successful consumer boycott, forcing major tuna brands to accept only dolphin-safe fish.
His next project resulted in banning of the use of driftnets as a fishing method. He has been engaged in stopping illegal walrus ivory trade, and illegal trade of rhino horn and tiger bone.
