Félix Samuel Rodríguez de la Fuente (14 de marzo de 1928 – 14 de marzo de 1980) fue un naturalista y locutor español. Es conocido sobre todo por la exitosa e influyente serie de televisión El Hombre y la Tierra (1974-1980)[1] Licenciado en medicina y autodidacta en biología, fue una figura carismática y polifacética cuya influencia ha perdurado a pesar del paso de los años[2].

Murió en Alaska el día en que cumplía 52 años, mientras rodaba un documental sobre la carrera de perros de trineo Iditarod Trail, cuando la avioneta Cessna 185 que le transportaba junto a dos camarógrafos españoles y el piloto estadounidense se estrelló, muriendo todos los que iban a bordo[7].

Tras su muerte, el dúo de cantantes españoles Enrique y Ana grabó el sencillo «Amigo Félix» para rendir homenaje a Rodríguez, la canción trata de todos los miembros del Reino Animal que lloran su muerte, como representación de su amor por los animales y toda la Naturaleza.

En 1957 se licenció en Odontología en Madrid, recibiendo el premio Landete Arago Bernardino, que lleva el nombre del pionero de la especialidad en España. Durante dos años, trabajó como dentista en la clínica del Dr. Baldomero Sol en Madrid, pero siempre a tiempo parcial para poder dedicarse a su pasión por la cetrería. Sin embargo, tras la muerte de su padre en 1960, abandonó la odontología para dedicarse a la cetrería y al periodismo científico. En 1961 fue asesor de la película El Cid, rodada en España. En 1964, gracias a sus crecientes contactos internacionales con científicos, Rodríguez de la Fuente presentó un estudio sobre el estado de los halcones peregrinos en España en el Congreso Internacional para la Protección de las Aves de Presa celebrado en Caen (Francia). Ese año también publicó su primer libro, El arte de la cetrería.

What a beautiful place to die,’ exclaimed Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente in Alaska, shortly before boarding a plane that was to take him to follow and record the Iditarod dog sled race, the longest in the world, which covers no less than 1,700 kilometers of wild arctic nature.

Between 1970 and 1972 he began his career as a television producer with Blue Planet, a series that would bring him worldwide recognition. A star was born. His incursion into radio was not long in coming. Felix would produce the program La aventura de la vida (1973) and other programs, such as Planeta agua and Objetivo: salvar la naturaleza, subjugating his listeners with his oratory.

Félix brought us closer to animals than anyone else. He filmed shocking images -that seemed impossible- of the daily life of the goshawk, the hyena, the griffon vulture or the crocodile. The shots he filmed went around the world, conquered large audiences and won numerous awards.

The naturalist was our hero, but he, who had devoted himself to saving endangered animal species, had his days numbered. And so a day that should have been a particularly happy one became a fateful one.

With a degree in Medicine and self-taught in Biology, Rodríguez de la Fuente was a multifaceted character of great charisma with intellectual interests and very diverse hobbies, from falconry to sports, including Anthropology and Ethology (in this field he stood out as a great scholar of the behavior of Iberian wolves, which he got to know very well).

This is the mythical and famous tune of the series ‘Man and Earth’ created by Antón García Abril. Every time this tune was played on TVE, all heads turned to see the beginning of the best work of Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente.

In 1966 he directs and presents the film Alas y garras (Wings and Claws), for which he is also screenwriter, and which will reap several awards, such as the Bronze Archer at the Gijón Film Festival. A greater opportunity to expand his message of approach to nature came in 1968, when the directors of TVE entrusted him with the responsibility of being in charge of his own program, Fauna.

He was buried in the simple cemetery of his native town of Poza de la Sal in a multitudinous act on Wednesday, March 19, 1980 at 3:30 pm. In June 1981, at the initiative of his widow Marcelle Parmentier, his mortal remains were exhumed and transferred to the cemetery of Burgos, where they have rested since then in a pantheon designed by the architect Miguel Fisac, together with a sculpture in his memory by the artist Pablo Serrano. The controversial transfer to the Burgos cemetery took place during the early hours of the morning to avoid confrontations with the inhabitants and authorities of Poza de la Sal, who were strongly opposed to the removal of the remains of the famous naturalist from his birthplace.
