Abstract

a City!’ proclaim the posters. Is our natural heritage in each virgin territory at stake? Here we encounter the unknown factor. The truth about what is endangered is ultimately in constant transition, like the essence of all life. Endangered are those whose survival now depends solely on the success of our endeavours to control the abuses of civilisation. Lest the issue be confused by the argument that species rise and fall due to evolutionary processes, let us recall the AUenlHarper definition. Our concern lies with species that are endangered by human activities. To return to my opening thought: there were men, a hundred years ago and more, who tried in their own way to preserve life in all its forms. The conviction they held is as vigorous today as ever, and while it lives, the forces of abuse, if not turned, may yet be held at bayq REFERENCES G. M.
