A century of concern
Article Abstract:
The Wildlife Conservation Society, with a view to protecting and preserving wildlife, awarded several grants in 1950 for the study of wildlife. In 1966 biologists such as George Schaller, Thomas Struhsaker and Roger Payne undertook studies of different species of animals in various parts of the world. Governments have approached the Society to formulate projects such as Rwanda's Nyungwe and Uganda's Kible forests, Congo's Nouabale-Ndoki region and Central America's Pasco Pantera program.
