"Endangered Species - Canada's Disappearing Wildlife" was written by Clive Roots and published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside Limited in 1987.
This is a book that I came across when I was looking for supplementary material for a project on endangered animals that my Grade 1 students were working on. When I found this old book, still clinging to our library's shelves, I was excited to pass on the story of the successful recovery of the Double-crested Cormorant. The students were fascinated. Engaged. Thrilled that we as humans could make a difference in the recovery of an endangered species.
What kind of message would the magnitude of this hunt send (especially with all of scientific knowledge suggesting the negative ramifications to Double-crested Cormorant populations and the vast amount of interconnected flora and fauna in the surrounding ecosystems)? What will our future stewards of our planet think?
