Shimon Schwarzschild

Shimon Schwarzschild (1925 –2021) was a German-born American environmental activist. His work contributed to the establishment of a nature preserve in Assisi, Italy.

Schwarzschild's publications include a 1983 article in Audubon Magazine that first called international attention to the destruction of the birds of Assisi by hunting.

In 2020, Schwarzschild was finishing a film project called "Transcending Terror" about his relationship with the German town in which he grew up, Wertheim. He described the film as a documentary on "Loss, Opportunity and Redemption".

He died in New York on November 10, 2021, at the age of 95.
