About This Book
The author restates a plan for creating protected wildlife reserves in Labrador, arguing that unchecked exploitation and careless development are depleting forests, migratory herds, marine mammals, and coastal bird colonies. He defines sanctuaries as refuges where human activity is minimized to allow species to recover and to supply nearby areas, and acknowledges possible management challenges while outlining workable regulatory measures. The text documents destructive local practices such as large-scale egg harvesting and wasteful collection methods that accelerate declines, and surveys impacts on food resources, commerce, sport, and science. It concludes with a practical plea for conservation measures supported by expert observations and clearer governance.
