A profound stutter as a child left Alan Rabinowitz virtually unable to communicate and to prefer animals to people. He became a wildlife biologist and made his name as an explorer in some of the world’s last wild places — discovering new animal species, encountering human communities believed to be lost, and most of all working for the survival of the world’s endangered big cats.
