Ernest Baynes

Ernest Baynes, an American naturalist, was a prolific writer who contributed articles about nature and animals to various newspapers and magazines. In the early 1900s, he established a wildlife refuge park in New Hampshire, where he dedicated himself to raising and taming numerous animals by hand. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to tame a bear that frequently raided his pantry. Alongside his passion for animals, Baynes was a vocal advocate for animal conservation.
