Johan August Wahlberg was a naturalist and explorer, graduating from Uppsala University with degrees in chemistry, forestry, and agronomy. Wahlberg began travelling to Southern Africa in 1834 to collect specimens to be sent back to Sweden for study. However, in 1856 in Botswana, he was killed by a wounded elephant. Perhaps the design of this medal would be considered a bit macabre today!
