Episode 96: William T. Hornaday’s Our Vanishing Wildlife
How the 20th Century Conservation Movement was shaped by William Temple Hornaday’s Our Vanishing Wildlife
William Temple Hornaday’s “Our Vanishing Wildlife” was critical to the 20th century conservation movement and the North American Conservation Model we have today. It was the equivalent of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring. Topics covered in this episode include:
- Hornaday’s role in saving American bison,
- Henry Augustus Ward,
- just how perilous things were for wildlife in 1913,
- passenger pigeons,
- how to get a wildlife bill passed and more.
