Who is this person?
Just for fun...

He/she is in the news a lot and is often talked about on this board.

He/she is a big environmentalist and conservationist.

He/she has donated countless millions of dollars to conservation

He/she has tried to convince Republicans that climate change is a serious problem

This last hint will give it away: He/she loves wildlife but has a special fondness for snakes.

The answer might surprise you, but give it your best guess if you don't know who it is. No fair googling, though!

6. If the "millions" part didn't factor into it, you would be right
My wife and I actually make very modest donations to the Nature Conservancy, which is a favorite organization of Paulson's, too. I think he was on their board.
