While developing his aviation career, David conducted ornithological research in Curaçao and the Netherlands Antilles, and went on to found Rare in 1973 as a New York-based international wildlife conservation organization. Rare played a major role in the “Save the Whales” campaign in the early 1970’s, and then went on to become a respected force in the conservation field for pioneering environmental education in Third World countries. When not flying or saving whales, David is an avid bird enthusiast and conservation activist. "
