Dr. Võ Quý (born December 31, 1929) is a Vietnamese zoologist and professor at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. He is an ornothologist and was a recipient of the 2003 Blue Planet Prize. During the war against the French, he studied in China, but in 1954 he returned to Vietnam and helped to found the University of Hanoi. He researched the effects of defoliation by the United States in the Vietnam War, and the impact of the herbicides, including Agent Orange used on the environment. He helped to plan government reforestation programmes. Dr. Quy relocated the rare eastern sarus crane, a species badly affected by the war, and helped to establish a treaty for the protection of migratory birds. He suggested that the Vietnamese pheasant (''Lophura hatinhensis'') might be a different species from Edward's pheasant (''Lophura edwardsi'') although most ornithologists do not split these two forms. He wrote the two-volume book, ''The Birds of Vietnam'', and co-authored ''The Kouprey: An Action Plan for Its Conservation'' ISBN 2-88032-972-8. ==External links== *(Biography at terradaily.com ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Võ Quý」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
