About This Book
The supplement argues that effective conservation of Labrador and adjacent Arctic wildlife requires scientific, comprehensive laws, designated sanctuaries, and leasehold systems to bridge regulation and protected areas. It urges coordinated intergovernmental and international action, including conferences on whaling and joint Dominion‑Provincial measures, and proposes centralized administration or concerted departments responsible for fauna and flora. The text warns that modern exploitation and uncontrolled expeditions are rapidly reducing populations of big game, marine mammals, and migratory birds, creating urgent need for protection. Practical recommendations include a single legal code defining noxious and beneficial species, close seasons, consultation with zoologists and local experts, and public education for effective enforcement.
