My condolences to Jim’s family and closest friends. I knew Jim through the IUCN WCPA community and often referred to him as just Thorsell! - a reference to the fact that he had the best job in conservation going around the world and assessing World Heritage sites and national parks. He had great stories of his adventures and many of us lived vicariously. I’m glad to have been a beneficiary of his tales.
