FOREIGN AID 



Four of the Department's professional staff have substantially assisted the 

 resources management programmes of three countries by acting in advisory 

 capacities under the auspices of the Canadian Federal External Aid Programme. 



Dr. C. H. D. Clarke, Chief of Fish and Wildlife Branch, spent the first six 

 months of 1965 in Kenya as a consultant on wildlife to the Ministry of Natural 

 Resources and Wildlife. He spent the greater part of his time visiting all the 

 major Game Department and National Parks districts and installations and 

 reporting back to the Permanent Secretary on wildlife management and organi- 

 zational problems. 



R. M. Dixon, Forester in Silviculture Section, spent two years in Chile 

 (1963-65) with a United Nations project. He was responsible for the estab- 

 lishment and organization of a unit dealing with resources surveys and the forestry 

 aspects of land use. 



D. A. Skeates, Forester in North Bay District, went to Kenya in 1963 as 

 Forestry Advisor under the Special Commonwealth Aid Programme. He was 

 responsible for Seed Tree Improvement and Species Trials. In 1964, he became 

 Acting Chief Silviculturist and is presently directing forest research studies. 



J. Goddard, Geraldton District Biologist, is assisting the government of 

 Tanzania, East Africa, to broaden aspects of its big game management programme. 

 He is conducting studies into the population dynamics and ecology of the black 

 rhinoceros herd at the Ngorongoro Crater. The Tanzania government had re- 

 quested this assistance as they feared the herd was in danger of being reduced.
