Entry envelope (small collage made of turtle post stamps and a stamp painted by Janna), addressed to his wife (sender I. Eibl-Eibesfeldt), botanist, zoologist, evolutionary biologist and behavioral researcher, with many years of collaboration with many scientists, including Konrad Lorenz. Since the 1950s he researched the biodiversity of the Galapagos archipelago. His initiative led to the foundation of the Charles-Darwin station on the island of Santa Cruz. On the return flight of Quito (Ecuador) to Munich, I was lucky enough to do him in 2009 meet. We had a good conversation that ranged from his granddaughter Anna (artist) to the subject of turtles. I am deeply impressed by his life's work, including his Books, including "Galapagos - The Noah's ark in the Pacific" (1960) and "World Language Art" (2008). In order to give the first breeding of Galapagos giant turtles in the so-called "Old World", Dr. hc. Honegger made deserved in Zurich, also by countless specialist publications, including art and culture. More information Under "Search: Eibl-Eibesfeldt".
