Hardcover. Condition: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Pages in good condition. No dustcover. Year 1963. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> BEFORE undertaking the conservation of animals and plants it is necessary scientifically to learn at least something… of their numbers and distribution and their relations to other animals and plants within their special environment. The practice of conservation today is partly an art and only partly a science, but its basis must be firmly assured by the ecological sciences. In the case of wildfowl-the great world-wide family of Anatidae comprising the 144 species of ducks, geese and swans-we are dealing with such problems on the grand scale. Not only is the family represented in all the Continents, but even some of the species established in Britain belong to populations existing right round the globe. Individuals which spend part of their year in Britain may be anywhere between Iceland, Siberia and Africa at another season in the same year, as ringing results show. It is indeed hardly defensible to speak of British wildfowl at all since we share so many of the actual birds with other count.
