The Need for Management 



Writers and photographers have known for a long time that the plight 

 of a wild animal struggling for survival makes a good story. Today, TV 

 and illustrated magazines bring the problems of endangered species — 

 sometimes with calculated shock effect — into the American home. 



Much of this publicity has been constructive. It has aroused needed 

 public support for efforts to save animals threatened with extinction at 

 home and around the globe. Congress, as a result, has approved pro- 

 gressively stronger programs to aid wildlife species in difficulty. And the 

 United States has taken leadership in developing a world treaty that 

 commits all nations signing it to protect threatened and endangered 

 animal populations.
