Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on riperened grain:
I am the the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the autumn in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in cicled flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Wildlife Conservation

One of the basic principles of wildlife conservation involves providing adequate natural food and shelter to maintain populations of each species in a given habitat. A major threat facing wildlife is both the destruction of habitat, through drainage, agriculture and urban expansion, and the fragmentation of habitat into parcels too small for wildlife populations to use. Illegal trade in feathers, horns, ivory, hides, and organs has brought many species to the verge of extinction. Wildlife is an important biological, economic, and recreational resource that can be maintained through careful management. Hunting regulations allow the LIMITED take of some species without affecting population levels, and can even help control species that have grown too abundant for the region they inhabit.
