TIIE ADMINISTRATION OF WILD LIFE

In Canada the administractlon of wildlife in the various Provinces, aside from that in the national park of Canada, is a Provinces reslponslbiiityu The ratLflcation oi.’ the Migratory bird treaty with the consent of the Provinces, and the passing of UJO Migratory Birds Con- vention Act in 1917, changed this slightly and brought the adminis- tration of migratory birds _under the

The migratory birds treaty was a. culmination of several year's efforts effectively to protect migratory spccies of birds valued as a source of fcod or because they destroy bird life in North America. Many insects which are injurious to for- csts plants, as well as to agricultural crops, in both Canada and United Stateswere 1n danger of depletion or extermination because of lack cf adequate protection during the nesting season or while cin their way to and from their breeding grounds, and it became necessary to adopt some uniform system of prot- ection which would effectively pre- vent thedndiscrimiriate slaughter of these migratory birds which are either useful to man or are harm-

l-Ess.

Briefly. the treaty provides for ihe open season which may bg allowed in the spring tnigratiori tune when the birds are on their way to their nesting grounds, provides a closed time for a number of years on oer- tain species which were considered in danger of extermination, and other lesser items. among which may be mentioned the shi-pmeint of prctacted birds, permission to utilize birds for scientific purposes, and f" DIODE-gating purposes. and re- lavd matters.

The migratory bird treaty be- tween the Unlted States and Canada is an instrument of as rest importance to the migratory lrds cf North America as was Mains. Charts to the civilized people of he world. That great charter of June 1215 gave to the subjects it effected greater liberty than they had there- to fore known; it meant to those subject that justice should neither be sold, denied nor delayed.

The migratory bird treaty has given to the birds of Noriih America mOTe Justice; more considerratioin, and more protection than they en- joyed before the coming into efect of that treaty. From out of that tre- aty there has grown 3, wider sympa- thy toward tiie birds, the realization that they are held in partnership between two countries, arid that they must be protected and cared ifor internationally if they are to survive, No in-ternational progress is possible without the cooperation of the Federal Government concen- ed, and the treaty simpfied the organization of Federal approp- riu lion for migratory bird conservat- ion in both the United States and Canada.

In Canada there has been close cooperation between the Dominion authorities and the game administ- rations of all ihe Provinces iri all ‘matters relating to the protection of migratory birds. Oare has been til-lien t0 Cflnsuit the Provinces, year, by year arid whenever minor chan- ges in the regulations under the {Dominion legislation appeared nes- warv io met special circumstances Harising in any Provinces. every pose- ’ effort consistent with conser- gvotion has been made to meet ihe Provincial views. No major difficul- ty has occurred between the Domin- ion and any Province arising from any misunderstanding with relation to the administra-ticm of the treaty or the Dominion Laws based on it.
