When the 61yearold first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth.

The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didn39。 Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only being a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53.
