Abstract:

In the 1960s, over 250,000 migratory Canadian geese wintered at Lake Mattamuskeet. Now the population nears record lows, with only 29,000 pairs confirmed in Canada in 1995. Misguided management and resident flocks contribute to the problem.

Abstract:

In 2010, Andrew Frank, his wife, and his son began working on their now successful Duck Dance Farm in Burnsville. The farm breeds duck, geese, and fish, but does not sell the meat from these animals. Instead, they make a profit from the eggs the duck and geese lay. The family defines their farming philosophy as responsible and raises the birds as free range.
