Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Trail of Vanishing Birds For more than fifty years the National Audubon Society has worked for the preservation of our native bird life and, over the last twenty years, has initiated and carried out studies of the lives and special needs of a number of North American birds that continue to be threatened with extinction, in spite of the great advances that have been made in the conservation field in recent years. One phase of these studies has been the publication of monographs on each of the species concerned - complete life histories that summarize everything that is known about these birds, with practical recommendations for arresting their decline and thus preventing their disappearance from the American scene. Although such publications represent an important and essential part of the over-all contribution that is made by these projects, they are not an end in themselves. Our efforts to follow through along the lines indicated as a result of each study are a continuing responsibility, a job that must end in eventual success or complete failure, or not at all. Nevertheless, those of us who have been actively associated with this program experience an understandable sense of relief and a certain feeling of accomplishment when the painstaking search for facts and for clues that may lead to a happy solution are finally assembled, in more or less readable form, between the covers of one of our monographs. At least that has been this author´s reaction to the publication of our reports on the whooping crane and, more recently, on the American flamingo.
