The Importance of Wildlife to Canadians by Arlin Hackman - Federation of Ontario Naturalists In 1981 Canadians spent $4.2 billion engaging in recreational activities related to wildlife. That's the major jflnding of a comprehensive 'survey of 100,000 individuals, from all regions and walks of life, that was carried out by Statistics Canada during 1982. Sponsored by eighteen organizations with various interests, interests, it bears good news for conservationists, during a period of economic stress, when money talks louder than ever. Published earlier this year by the Canadian Wildlife Service Service as The Importance of Wildlife to Canadians, the results of this ground breaking breaking survey span a wide range of fascinating data on attitudes attitudes to wildlife -populations, -populations, participation in various activities, as well as related expenditures. , For study purposes, wildlife-related activities were categorized as indirect (reading, buying wildlife art, joining clubs); residential (contact with wildlife around home or cottage); nonconsumptive nonconsumptive outings involving involving wildlife encounters; and, last of all, hunting. Fully 83.)lVil of those surveyed engaged in indirect activities, showing that interest in wildlife touches all sectors of society. Statisticians estimate, in addition, that Canadians spent close to $120 million supporting wildlife organizations alone. One conclusion really stands out challenging conventional conventional wisdom. Fully half the total public expenditures on wildlife recreation ($2.1 billion) were made by the one in five Canadians who took a special 'trip to watch, photograph, study or feed wildlife. By contrast only one in ten Canadians hunted and total hunting-related expenditures expenditures of $1,2 billion account account for less than 29Vo of the grand total. This finding turns the tables on a recent study done for Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources. It says hunting has far more economic significance than nature appreciation. But the sole author of this report, acknowledges he took a conservative conservative approach to estimates on nature appreciation. appreciation. His figures indicate, lor example, that a typical "nonconsumptive "nonconsumptive user" spent only $4.50 in 1979 on equipment and supplies, about the cost of one roll of film. Conservative Conservative indeed. Conservation gains from the federal survey in other ways than economics. At least 80Vo of those questioned strongly support the preservation preservation of endangered species and the maintenance of abundant wildlife popula- ' , .
