Abstract:
The North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Nongame Wildlife Tax Checkoff in 1983. This allows citizens to contribute a part or all of their state income tax refund to the management of nongame and endangered wildlife. Over 32,000 North Carolinians participated in 1985, contributing over $300,000 to the fund. Taylor summarizes how the funds were used for nongame and endangered wildlife and discusses plans for the third year of the program.

Abstract:
Wildlife conservation in North Carolina in the past was generally a system of local self-government, but recognition of wildlife protection in the state began early. Local laws were many and diverse, and steadily the North Carolina General Assembly adopted state-wide regulations on conservation. With the development of state conservation laws and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, conservation in the state focuses on regulation, enforcement, education, research, and management.
