Esmond Bradley Martin (17 April 1941[1] – 4 February 2018[2]) was an American conservationist who fought for the preservation of the rhinoceros and against the illegal trade of rhinoceros horns.[3] A trained geographer, Martin was considered a world-renowned expert in the ivory trade and rhinoceros horn trade.[4] He had been a special envoy of the United Nations for the conservation of rhinoceros.[5] Militant for a reduction in the demand for ivory to dry up the market, he participated notably in the stop of rhinoceros horn trade to China in 1993 and ivory in 2017.[6]
Martin was found dead on 4 February 2018 with a stab wound to his neck in Nairobi, Kenya, aged 76.[2][4]
