Synopsis
Excerpt from Status of Waterfowl in 1934
A long period of deficient precipitation over hundreds of thousands of square miles of the finest breeding territory in the North Central States and the southern parts of the Prairie Provinces of Canada began in 1915. With the exception of a slightly increased rainfall in 1920, this shortage continued till 1934, when all available records for duration of time, extent of territory affected, and severity of drought conditions were broken. Serious drought conditions have arisen periodically throughout recorded history, always doubtless working hardships upon the waterfowl. But never, so far as is known, have there been so many destructive conditions and agencies at work at once upon a depleted waterfowl supply as during the past 5 years. During that period the numbers of waterfowl have fallen drastically. The support and interest of all public-spirited citizens are now needed to repair the damage.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the alarmingly low waterfowl population of 1934, in direct comparison to 1933. Through careful investigation of breeding ranges, surveys from sportsmen, naturalists, and officials, the author reveals that this drastic decrease in waterfowl numbers is, unfortunately, part of a worrying trend. Seeking to raise awareness of the steady decline in stock since the 1930s, this book explores the significance of protecting existing species, preserving their natural habitats, and the fundamental need to implement practical measures that will build the waterfowl population back to a reasonable abundance. Understanding the scale of the problem is key to appreciating the depth, breadth and importance of the solutions proposed by the author. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260613226_0
