Given the news from the past several weeks, i wanted to share this quote
from California Fish & Game, as relevant now as when it was first published:
_______
…not only California, but the whole world, has been wasteful of its wild
life resources for the last fifty years, and…it is vitally important that the
people everywhere understand the urgent necessity for conservation measures
even more rigid than those already in force….
On the biologist is laid the role of leadership in the campaign for the
preservation of native fauna and on him must blame for ignorant and destructive
popular action, legislative or otherwise, inevitably fall.
Philip Janney
April 1917
