      DRAFT

      Of A

      Plan for Beginning

      ANIMAL SANCTUARIES

      In

      LABRADOR

      BY

      LT.-COLONEL WILLIAM WOOD

      (to be submitted to the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Conservation Commission of the Dominion of Canada in 1913.)

      I. RECAPITULATION.

      The original address on Animal Sanctuaries in Labrador was published in the spring of 1911. The Supplement was published in the summer of 1912. The present Plan, or Second Supplement, is now being submitted for consideration to the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Commission of Conservation at the beginning of 1913.

      These papers are published for free distribution among those who are interested in the preservation of wild life. They are to be obtained on application to The Secretary, Commission of Conservation, Ottawa, Canada. But both the Address and Supplement are almost out of print.

      Communications on the subject itself should be addressed direct to me:—Colonel Wood, Quebec, Canada.

      I gladly take this opportunity of thanking the many experts whose kind help has given my papers whatever real value they possess. Some of these experts have never been called so in their lives, and will be greatly astonished to find that they are called so now. But when I know they are the thing, why should I hesitate about the name? In any proper meaning of the word there are several first-class experts among my friends who go fishing, sealing, whaling, hunting, trapping, furring or guiding for their livelihood. And I hereby most gratefully acknowledge all I have learnt during many a pleasant day with them, afloat and ashore. The other kind of experts, those who are called so by the world at large, have been quite as generous with their information and advice. In fact, they have been so very generous that perhaps I should call myself the editor, rather than the author, of the Supplement, as more than half of it is occupied by extracts from their letters concerning the Address.

      It might be as well to restate the argument of this Address in the fewest possible words.

      An eagerly exploiting people in an easily exploited country, we are only too apt to live on the capital of all our natural resources. We
