Author Biography
MacKinnon, John (Author)
Vo Quy was born in the province of Ha Tinh, Vietnam on December 31, 1929. He studied in China and later received a Ph.D. from Moscow University. He helped establish the University of Hanoi. In the early 1960s, he successfully persuaded Vietnam's leaders to designate land near the capital as the country's first national park. He was known for his studies on Vietnam's wildlife and his efforts to restore tropical habitats that had been destroyed during the Vietnam War. In 1985, he founded the Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Studies. He wrote the two-volume study The Birds of Vietnam. Near the end of his career, he hosted a popular show about the environment on the state-run Vietnam Television. He died on January 10, 2017 at the age of 87.
