Past progress and future challenges R.J. Wheater Royal Zoological
Society of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK. In the past two decades much
has been achieved in the sphere of breeding endangered species, and
we should be pleased that our co operative efforts have already
borne so much fruit. However, on balance and despite the best
efforts of conservationists, the position of wildlife in the wild
places where they are best conserved has become worse, often
dramatically worse. Before returning to the United Kingdom in 1972,
I was in Uganda for 16 years, most of which time was spent as Chief
Warden of Murchison Falls National Park. Our main problem was that
an over-population of large mammals was having a devastating impact
on the habitat. Devas tation was being wrought on woodland areas by
the arrival of large numbers of elephants into the sanctuary of the
Park, following changes in land use in the areas outside the Park.
These changes were in response to the requirements of an
ever-expanding human population."
