| At no time in history has Man's dominion over the natural world been more devastatingly complete than today. Through the careless neglect and violation of our environment many species have disappeared or been brought to the very brink of extinction. Although some species must disappear through natural causes - part of the process of evolution - many others are threatened because Man has upset the balance through over-hunting, through introducing predators from one part of the world to draining marshes, building and so on. It seems more than probable that Man's activities have led to the extermination of 75% of the birds and mammals that have become extinct since 1600. Lee M. Talbot of the Smithsonian Institution thinks that if killing goes on at the present pace in about 30 years all of the remaining 4,062 species of mammals will be gone. Is this a scare story? Not quite. The world's most endangered species of animal and plant, with their present distribution, are listed in 'The Red Book: Wildlife in Danger' compiled by the late James Fisher, Noel Smith and Jack Vincent. The message of this book is primarily one of bad tidings with only occasional flashes of hope. It is based on facts gathered by the Survival Service Commission of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The I. U. C. N. is the most authoritative agency in the field of world conservation but it is also closely associated with the International Council for Bird Preservation (I. C. B. P.) and the World Wildlife Fund - an international charitable organisation for saving the world's wildlife and its threatened habitats. All these conservation bodies are striving to evolve and to put into practice plans to save and manage wild environments, to limit hunting and to breed in captivity some of the msot endangered species. The threats to our wildlife are many and varied and we should be concerned about the netting of small song birds in western Europe, the shooting of kangaroos for pet food, the hunting of orang utans for zoos, the wasteful slaughter of vicunas for their coats and of whales for purely short term profits. Support for local and national conservation organisations as well as the World Wildlife Fund is needed so that future generations of Man will be able to live and find delight in our still surviving companions of Nature. Side 1 of this record consists of spoken contributions from ten well-known conservationists. These pieces reflect the many different aspects of conservation problems. Side 2 is devoted to the sounds of 59 different animals whose full species or geographical races are in danger. To illustrate this side of the disc recordings have been gathered from many different sources and we are particularly grateful to the following for permission to use sounds from their collections: Cornell University, NHK (Japan), All India Radio, C. and L. Weismann, Dr. W. Makatsch, E. R. Parrinder, P. Duddrisdge, Tony BEamish, Dr. R. D. Martin, Harley Webster and Philip Wayre and Dr. J. J. Petter and the Service du Film de Recherche Scientifique. Other recordings made by Ludwig Kock, Roger Perry, John Burton, H. Smith, D. I. M. Wallace, Bob Wade and myself come from the BBC's Sound Archives. ERIC SIMMS. Sleeve Notes and Record produced by Eric Simms. The record is based on Eric Simm's broadcasts in the BBC World Service weekly 'NATURE NOOTBOOK' and other nature programmes.
