He was Secretary of the Zoological Society of London (1935–1942), the first Director of UNESCO, and a founding member of the World Wildlife Fund.Huxley was well known for his presentation of science in books and articles, and on radio and television. He directed an Oscar-winning wildlife film.

He was also knighted in that same year, 1958, a hundred years after Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace announced the theory of evolution by natural selection.
