Mr. CHARLES ELTON (Director of the Bureau of Animal Population, University of Oxford): 'Nature Sanctuaries'
Every year the need for nature sanctuaries becomes more pressing and their function more important. Rare mammals, whether animals, birds, or insects, have a receding chance of survival as time goes on, and there is real danger that other species will follow the buzzard, the eagle, and the red squirrel into oblivion. Tonight Mr. Elton will describe the nature sanctuaries we possess and the way in which they are run.
