''Our Vanishing Wildlife: Its Extermination and Preservation'' is a book written by William Temple Hornaday, first published in 1913. The book is a comprehensive account of the state of wildlife conservation in the United States at the time, and Hornaday’s call to action to protect endangered species from extinction. Hornaday was a noted zoologist and conservationist, and the book is based on his extensive experience studying and working with animals in the wild. He provides a detailed account of the various species that were threatened with extinction at the time, including bison, elk, deer, and various bird species. The book also explores the reasons behind the decline of these species, including hunting, habitat loss, and the introduction of non-native species. Hornaday argues that these threats can be mitigated through better conservation practices, such as the establishment of national parks and wildlife refuges, and the regulation of hunting and trapping. ''Our Vanishing Wildlife'' is an important historical document, as it provides a snapshot of the state of wildlife conservation in the early 20th century, and the efforts being made to protect endangered species at the time. The book is also relevant today, as many of the issues it addresses are still relevant to modern conservation efforts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
