‘Nature Sanctuaries'
H. MUNRO Fox , F.R.S.
The bison in America was nearly exterminated, but it has been saved, and bison now live in a nature sanctuary in Canada. There are other such sanctuaries for large animals in different parts of the world. In Britain we have many bird sanctuaries. There is a new spirit in the world which seeks to keep wild animals from being exterminated. Some birds are protected by law partly because they help the farmer, partly because they sing and are beautiful. Fishes are protected for food and for sport. Birds, too-for instance, pheasants and partridges. This is an outline of the talk that Munro Fox is to give today.
