Histórico
Herbrand Arthur Russell, 11th Duke of Bedford, was and English politician and peer. He was the son of Francis Russell, 9th Duke of Bedford, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Sackville-West, daughter of George Sackville-West, 5th Earl De La Warr.
He was President of the Zoological Society of London from 1899 to 1936, and was concerned with animal preservation throughout his life. He was instrumental in saving the milu (or Pere David's deer), which was already extinct by 1900 in its native China. He acquired a few remaining deer from European zoos and nurtured a herd of them at Woburn Abbey. He gifted Himalayan tahr to the New Zealand government in 1903.
