Poaching Reduces
Wildlife Species
WASHINGTON, (AP)—Poaching and over-fishing—especially in the Florida Everglades—are a menace to resources of the national parks, Newton B. Drury, director of the park service, said last week.
Although some of the rare species of wildlife are increasing, Drury said in his annual report, illegal destruction of wildlife "continues to be serious in a number of areas."
He said poaching has helped reduce the antelope of Wind Cave National Park, S. D., to the lowest number in 10 years and has resulted in a marked scarcity of goats, deer and hair seals in Glacier Bay National Monument, Alaska, where the service has no protective staff.
Drury said encouraging developments among park wildlife include:
The apparent increase of certain rare species, including the Dall sheep in Mount McKinley National Park, Alaska.
