Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fauna of the National Parks of the United States: A Preliminary Survey of Faunal Relations in National Parks This is the first of a series of reports dealing with the vertebrate fauna of the national parks to be prepared in the Branch of Educa tion and Research of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. In addition to treating of the vertebrate natural history of the parks still requiring basic surveys, the reports will cover research in one branch of the science that is the very foundation upon which the National Park Service is built, namely, the preservation of the native values of wilderness life. For it is this ideal above all else which differentiates this service from its sister services in government. The rescue of this prized heritage of the American people has created unique problems in road construction, landscape architecture, education, and administration, but in no field are the complications deeper and their solutions more obscure than in conservation of the wild-life resources. The parks' faunas have been extremely sensitive to the influences of civilization. The present paper details the con elusions of a general investigation of the vertebrate life of the national parks with emphasis on these human relationships.
