The Upside Of Wildlife Management
March 10, 2009
We sometimes spend far too much time with our noses stuck in the middle of all that is wrong with game and wildlife management that we forget (maybe I should just say I forget) to take a look at the successes of what we have accomplished, even to a point where in some cases it might just be too good.
Harold Brown, an agricultural scientist and professor emeritus at the University of Georgia and author of “The Greening of Georgia: The Improvement of the Environment in the Twentieth Century”, authored a commentary at Online Athens about the growth and success of recovering the black bear populations, specifically in Georgia and more generally in nearly all parts of the U.S.
He presents some interesting facts, numbers and observations. A good read.
