Peter Moss

Peter de Vere Moss FRGS (2 August 1938 – 22 April 2017) was a British colonial administrator who later became a park ranger, conservationist, and pioneer of eco-tourism.

Internal political strife caused him to become disillusioned with public administration, however, and in 1965 he took a post with the Department of Game and Tsetse Control in Chilanga, near Lusaka.

[1] He took a break to complete his education, returning to London to take A levels which he followed with a degree with first class honours in Fish and Wildlife Biology at Guelph University in Canada.

It included rare breeds of sheep cattle and horses as well as species not native to Wales such as bison, wildcats and wolves.

[1] In later life he set up Eco-safari, which became the Ultimate Travel Company, which specialised in exotic holidays with conservation benefits for the destinations, and continued to be consulted by governments around the world for his advice.
