Abstract

Excerpt from the Introduction: Recognition of the value of big-game animals to the Nation has resulted in the establishment of national preserves and ranges for the perpetuation of distinctive North American forms. But for the protection afforded by these preserves, by the national parks, and by State refuges established for similar purposes, several species of big game that in years past inhabited in countless numbers the Great Plains and other regions would have become extinct. To preserve for posterity these remnants of the vast herds of former days is the responsibility of the American people. The remaining herds of North American big-game animals are a valuable asset to the Nation both economically and esthetically. As a Hindu poet has said, “The world was not made for man alone, and man attains his true stature only as he realizes the dignity and worth of life that is not human."
