The North American approach to waterfowl management : synergy of hunting and habitat conservation / Michaeal G. Anderson and Paul I. Padding.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 826-829).

Hunters have been central to waterfowl management in North America over the past century.
Numerous partnerships among government agencies, non-government organizations and private
individuals form the core of conservation endeavours for migratory ducks, geese and swans and
their diverse habitats. As a consequence of these efforts and the resilience of waterfowl populations,
these species have fared better than most guilds of migratory birds. Threats to remaining habitats
and the waning connections of people to wild things and wild places comprise the most
serious challenges to sustaining this system.
