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.

Spine unobtrusively bumped, slight browning to end-papers else very good in rubbed dust-wrapper. Monographs of the Nature Conservancy No. 3. "This monograph has been prepared for the Nature Conservany Council by the Wildfowl Trust. It presents a complete survey of the distribution and habitats of the wild ducks, geese and swans belonging to the world-wide family of Anatidae which winter in England, Scotland and Wales. The survey is the result of an unprecedented coordinated effort by amateur and professional ornithologists over many years in wildfowl counting and ringing. The results are analysed and presented on a regional basis and are also summarised species by species with maps showing the most important concentrations. Besides their general value, these summaries indicate which species require special protection and where. A description of the wider migrations of the birds, as well as that of their movements within Britain, is also included and an explanation of various catching techniques is given. With supporting studies on the problems of the control of wildfowl stocks, the impact on wildfowl distribution of artificial habitats, and the relation of wildfowl to agriculture, the Monograph reveals a provisional scientific basis for a national policy of wildfowl conservation. It contains many colour illustrations and line-drawings by Peter Scott as well as numerous photographs and diagrams." .
