Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the history of the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) from its inception in 1947, following the desolation of Canadian wildlife, to its evolution over half a century. The author, a renowned writer with ties to the CWS, consulted dozens of employees, past and present, in the making of this book, drawing from both written and oral accounts to paint a multidimensional picture of the organization. The result is an engaging mix of stories, experiences, and accomplishments of the CWS, set against the backdrop of a changing national attitude towards wildlife conservation. The author takes care to illustrate how the CWS has not only mirrored but influenced the evolution of wildlife policy in Canada, emerging as one of the country's most instrumental forces in protection, research, and education on wildlife and their habitats. A particularly notable contribution of the book is its exploration of the CWS's leading role in key conservation initiatives like the preservation of the whooping crane and the peregrine falcon, among others. Overall, this well-researched and engaging book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of wildlife conservation in Canada and the dedicated people who have shaped it.
