Eugenie Clark. I picked Eugenie Clark because she was an important figure for animal rights (specifically sharks) who spent her life improving shark' reputation. Here is an overview about Eugenie Clark: Eugenie Clark was an ichthyologist, and is most know as "The Shark Lady". She was always fascinated by sharks starting from when she was a small child, and spent most of her time in an aquarium admiring the sharks. As she grew up, she started educating the public on sharks and how they are not a threat to us unless humans do something to scare or annoy them. According to her studies, sharks are more afraid of humans than humans are of sharks! She also dedicated her life to saving and rescuing shark's lives. She would dive into different oceans and save shark's lives that way. In addition, she built her own rehabilitation center for sharks. Finally, Eugenie Clark's life unfortunately ended in 2015, but her memory carries on.
