National Survey on the importance of wildlife to the Canadian population
Abstract
"Preface
The 1987 National Survey on the Importance of Wildlife to Canadians was carried out by Statistics Canada under the sponsorship of the Federal - Provincial Wildlife Conference and the direction of the Canadian Wildlife Service. The results of the survey show the significant role played by wildlife in the lives of Canadians and the considerable importance Canadians attach to wildlife. They will have important implications for managers involved in the protection of wildlife and its habitat, the development of resource policies, program planning, and the evaluation of current wildlife programs and services in the context of a 'sustainable development' framework.
The survey was designed to update the 1981 National survey on the Importance of Wildlife to Canadians; together, the 1981 and 1987 results will provide strategic socioeconomic insights on trends in wildlife-related activities to managers of a wide range of federal, provincial, and international wildlife and habitat management programs.
This project represents the combined efforts and expertise of conservation agencies in the federal and provincial governments. Such an undertaking would not have been possible without the unique cooperative efforts of the agencies involved, enabling the gathering of information useful to the sponsors and other concerned researchers. However, the ultimate beneficiaries of the study will be the wildlife and people of Canada.
