Gillespie seen threat to wilderness OTTAWA CP The grow ing popularity of camping hik ing and other outdoor activities has become major threat to Canadas remaining wilderness areas because the trampling herd has brought trampled wilderness Yorke Edwards director of the British Colum bia museum said Friday He told Canadian Nature Federation conference that the massive swing to outdoor ac tivities has already destroyed many wildlifehabitats It is time to consider some re striction on mans invasion of the countryside for pleasure and recreation he said In dustry and technology is contin uing to take heavy toll of many of the unique habitats of wildlife Naturalists and other groups interested in outdoor activities have succeeded in arousing public interest but at the same time most people have been unable to see there is wildlife troblcm The conference is studying endangered species in Canada and Mr Edwards said many old wildlife habitats have been destroyed especially in south ern Canada But there will al ways be wildlife although not much of the old habitats and their specialized species One of the main failures has been the conservation move ments inability to educate people about the effects of mans intrustion on nature he GARDEN NOTES said The conservation movement has wasted its time tilting at symbols while ignoring campaigns aimed at people Developing concern for wildlife may be enjoyable but it will not save much wildlife that has not already survived on its own adap tability he said There has been little public support for the conservation movement and there appears to be little interest in saving the Arctic from the onslaught of pipelines and industrial development he added Arctic wildlife will probably disappear fast when the Mack enzie Valley
