Jean Georges Baer
Jean-Georges Baer (February 12, 1902[1] – February 21, 1975[2]) was a Swiss parasiotologist and environmentalist.
Born in England,[2] he studied in Neuchâtel, Geneva, and in Paris, where he worked with Charles Joyeux.[2] His book "Ecology of animal parasites" (1951) is considered a classic in the field.[3] Baer published more than 250 articles,[3] among them fundamental work on Temnocephalida (a kind of flatworm parasite) and on tapeworms.[4]
Baer was a member of several scientific societies, vice president of the International Union of Biological Societies,[4] and from 1958 to 1963 president of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).[5]
