Abstract:

Since 1976, North Carolina has required hunters to report their big game harvest. Game managers use this information to make decisions affecting hunting seasons, bag limits, and other regulatory matters.

He was instrumental in founding the National Wildlife Federation, established the national wildlife refuge system, and made the federal “duck stamp” a reality. He was also an accomplished political cartoonist. Taylor discusses some of his biting cartoons and their influence on conservation.

Abstract:

Brunswick County's Green Swamp is a 140-square-mile haven for plants and wildlife. All fourteen of the state's carnivorous plants live there. The area lay untouched for centuries until 1907 when the Waccamaw Lumber Company began logging operations. In 1974, the Department of the Interior designated 24,800 acres as a National Natural Landmark.

Abstract:

Beginning in the 1940s, widespread use of DDT and other pesticides had a disastrous effect on wildfowl reproduction. In North Carolina eagles were wiped out and ospreys all but exterminated. Lake Ellis and Orton Pond were two osprey sites which escaped serious infestation of pesticides. While osprey populations are again on the rise, severe weather, predators, and habitat destruction can limit the survival of a number of fledglings.
