Hans Weiss, co-founder of the Swiss Foundation for Landscape Conservation, died on October 13 at the age of 84. His family had to say goodbye to him unexpectedly at one of his many favorite places, as they wrote in an obituary on Wednesday.
Weiss embodied the voice of landscape conservation in Switzerland for decades, wrote the Swiss Landscape Conservation Foundation in an obituary also published in the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" on Wednesday.
"His commitment to the values of unspoiled landscapes was unbroken until the end", wrote the foundation. In spring, Weiss was still involved in the referendum campaign against the Electricity Act.
Weiss' relatives wrote that the funeral will take place in a small circle.
