Simon Cowell died at the age of 72 on Sunday. He dedicated his life to wildlife and worked to ensure countless injured and orphaned animals were given a second chance in the wild. His family said: «He was passionate about the importance of environmental education and hopeful for a future in which man respects and protects the natural world.»
‘Sweary David Attenborough’ The WAF says it will continue Mr Cowell’s work and legacy from its Surrey base under the leadership of his daughter, Lou Cowell. Ms Cowell, who described her father as a «sweary David Attenborough», told BBC Radio Surrey that his presence was in «every single atom» of the charity. «I can feel him already patrolling the grounds, making sure everything is going alright.» She said the support the family had received since his diagnosis was shared in 2022 was «nothing short of overwhelming and just beautiful».
