Description:Excerpt from California Fish and Game, Vol. 1: Conservation of Wild Life Through Education; April, 1915 In the beginning of this paper a glimpse of the early fur trade in California was given so as to afford a comparison with conditions at the present time which are fairly well known by everyone. There followed statements which showed the extent of the world's fur trade, and then, possible methods which could be employed to develop the fur industry in California by conserving the fur-bearers. In conclusion, the urgent necessity for early attention to the problem of conserving the fur-bearers should be emphasized. Now is the time to better conditions, not after it is too late. It has taken millions of years to produce the animals which we have now and yet we sweep them out of existence in a hundred years, or less. Man is able to create great industries which become a resource to a country, but where is the man or the group of men that can create a resource that compares in the slightest degree to any of the great natural resources? Man-made creations are capable of restoration but an extinct form of life can never be restored. In this ethical viewpoint we perhaps find the strongest argument of all. But add to this the economic viewpoint and we have an argument in favor of wild life conservation that defies every assailant. Will the people of California heed the handwriting on the wall and properly discharge their duty to the wild life itself, to their state, and to humanity?
