Fauna Series No. 2 Cover Contents Foreword Introduction Part I Part II

Fauna of the National Parks of the United States PART II REPORTS CONCERNING WILDLIFE RESTORATION Because of various proposals involving reduction of buffalo, elk, deer, and other species, as outlined in the foregoing report on the Current Status of Large Mammals in the National Parks, it is felt that an explanation of these contemplated actions is due. It is believed that the explanation most satisfactory and economical of time and energy is to be found in the reports submitted by the Wildlife Division from time to time, which portray conditions as we have found them. Therefore, a representative list of such reports is given herewith. Throughout, the reports are submitted practically verbatim, with only such slight changes in text as would be conducive to greater clarity, or in matters involving personnel or administrative routine which would have no place here. In no case has the meaning or purpose of any report been changed. It should be noted that the first series of reports deals with restoration measures. The second series of reports deals with the administrative phase of wildlife management. Only such reports are included as are necessary to indicate and explain the national parks wildlife restoration and administrative program. Winter range of the northern Yellowstone elk herd and a suggested program for its restoration Wildlife management in Grand Canyon National Park Suggested wildlife management plan for Grand Canyon National Park Wildlife of Grand Canyon National Monument Proposed extension of Mesa Verde National Park Wildlife restoration plan for Mesa Verde National Park Guadalupe extension of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park Trumpeter swans in Yellowstone
