AI notes: Archibald Belaney (1888–1938), better known by his adopted name Grey Owl, was a British-born conservationist, writer, and public speaker who became famous in Canada for his advocacy of wildlife preservation, particularly for beavers. Born in Hastings, England, Belaney moved to Canada as a young man, eventually adopting a persona as a half-Indigenous (Anishinaabe) trapper and calling himself Grey Owl. Through lectures, articles, and books, he brought attention to environmental issues, especially the consequences of over-trapping and deforestation, becoming one of the early voices of the conservation movement in North America.
