George Meléndez Wright (June 20, 1904 – February 25, 1936) was an American-Salvadoran biologist who conceived of, then conducted, the first scientific survey of fauna for the National Park Service between 1929 and 1933.
Wright was a pioneer in many ways, but especially for his holistic approach to wildlife management issues in the National Parks.
Wright and his colleagues spent years in the field researching wildlife issues, and advocating for an ecosystem-wide approach to managing species within, and bordering, the parks.
The George Wright Society, founded in 1980, honors Wright's vision.
