Thomas Lovejoy (1941–2021,) fully Thomas Eugene Lovejoy III, was an American conservation biologist. Lovejoy introduced the term biological diversity in the late 1970s. That term has become one of the most important themes of the age of climate crisis.

A leading extinction researcher with the World Wide Fund, Smithsonian Institution, World Bank, United Nationals Foundation, and other conservation organizations, Lovejoy found that habitat destruction, pollution, and global heating were snuffing out species worldwide.

Founder of the Amazon Biodiversity Center at George Mason University, he discovered that habitat destruction, pollution, and global heating were killing species worldwide.

Lovejoy’s publications include Climate Change and Biodiversity (2006,) Biodiversity and Climate Change (2019,) and Ever Green: Saving Big Forests to Save the Planet (2022.)
