Sir Peter Markham Scott (14 September 1909 to 29 August 1989) was a British ornithologist, conservationist, painter, naval officer, broadcaster and sportsman, the only child of Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott. He established the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust at Slimbridge in 1946 and helped found the World Wide Fund for Nature, whose logo he designed. A yachting enthusiast from an early age, he was part of the UK team at the 1936 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in sailing a one-man dinghy. He was knighted in 1973 for his work in the conservation of wild animals.
