5 Foreword In the limited scope of this book I wish to present a brief review of the progressive destruction of nature, particularly in the domain of animal life, and at the same time to illustrate some of the possibilities by BIII:- Ion , which man can prevent this destruction. As the mightiest creation of na- 2,51- a _ ture, man extends his influence into all of nature's provinces and in ; 3 ~ ~ f ~ L... - _ j habits all zones of the earth.,, ' Civilization and technology, ultimate consequences of his unique 1 cerebral development, have promoted man to this position of O ~ >, I,.", o o' - = I power. An enormous population increase in recent centuries has BIIO made him one of the most numerous of all animal forms. A comparison of the alarming climb of earth's population curve (Fig. la) with the graphical representation of exterminated animal species (Fig. Ib) establishes a striking conformity. The steeper the human population curve climbs, the higher stretch the bars representing the number of exterminated animal species. Many facts and figures are included in this book; factual evidence speaks louder to us of the twentieth century than do passionate appeals to sentiment. The figures make the extent of the damage An 5 - ",0 r r- 20 r- h 0-10 r- h -r-rn SO SO 2000 vii Fig. 1. ( a ) The increase in human population over the last three hundred years. (b) The number of exterminated mammals forms (white bars) and bird forms (black bars) eliminated over the last three hundred years. Each bar represents a 50-year period.
6 viii Foreword tangible and clearly indicate the necessity for corrective actions. All examples included in this book are presented with the same basic reasoning: when man continues to destroy nat'ure, he saws off the very branch on which he sits since the rational protection of nature is at the same time the protection of mankind. It follows from the theme of this book that its contents must be compiled from a great many widely differentiated sources all of which are impossible to cite. I wish to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to all my colleagues and to all those who have contributed drawings. My special thanks go to the Director of the Ziirich University Zoological Museum, Hans Burla, who placed his personal help and various other important resources at the disposal of this effort, and to the international nature protection organization, the World Wildlife Fund, whose photoarchives I was allowed to utilize. I am deeply indebted to Pille and Fred Bunnell for their translation and revision of my book from its original German version. Zurich, January 1, 1965 VINZENZ ZISWILER
