The Dawn of Conservation Diplomacy (eBook, ePUB)

U.S.-Canadian Wildlife Protection Treaties in the Progressive Era

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the early 20th century, fish in the Great Lakes and Puget Sound, seals in the North Pacific, and birds across North America faced a common threat: overharvesting that threatened extinction for many species. Progressive era conservationists saw the need for government intervention, and the necessity of international agreements. This book examines the first three comprehensive wildlife conservation treaties in history, all between the U.S. and Canada.
