A Passion for Wildlife chronicles the history of the Canadian Wildlife Service and the evolution of Canadian wildlife policy over its first half century. It presents the exploits and accomplishments of a group of men and women whose dedication to the ideals of science, conservation, and a shared vision of Canada as a country that treasures its natural heritage has earned them the respect of their profession around the world. Drawing on interviews and anecdotes, personal correspondence, and the published record, the book addresses topics as varied as game law enforcement, field biology, habitat conservation, environmental education, toxicology, federal-provincial relations, and international diplomacy. Accessible to anyone interested in nature, it will appeal particularly to wildlife managers, scientists, naturalists, as well as students of biology, wildlife technology, and environmental studies.

The Long Range Transport of Air Pollutants (LRTAP) Biomonitoring Program conducts broad-scale surveys on over 600 wetlands and lakes in north-east Ontario and 46 lakes in Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia, to monitor the chemical and biotic response of sensitive aquatic ecosystems to reduced inputs of acidifying emissions. An important part of this program, the Canadian Lakes Loon Survey (CLLS), uses a network of volunteers to assess the breeding success of common loons (a key indicator species) on larger lakes across Canada. This report describes the Biomonitoring Program's study design and components, study areas, and data collection and characterisation procedures, and includes detailed physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the biomonitoring study lakes and their locations. Information is also provided for a subset of more intensively studied Food Chain Monitoring Program lakes and CLLS lakes.

"Acid rain poses a serious threat to wildlife that rely on aquatic ecosystems in eastern Canada, including many birds, mammals and amphibians. Studies conducted by the Canadian WiIdlife Service (CWS) since 1980 have shown that aquatic birds are adversely affected by acidity through a variety of ecological and ecotoxological processes that occur at lower trophic levels, but which may ultimately cause reproductive impairment and/or shifts in habitat selection or diet. The CWS LRTAP Biomonitoring Program was established in 1987 to verify the rate, nature and extent of biological recovery of aquatic ecosystems in eastern Canada following the implementation of acid rain control programs in Canada and the United States"--Abstract.

This volume presents information and techniques which are at the leading edge of microbial acid rain research and addresses a number of topical and important issues of global concern. Topics discussed include microbial responses to low pH and biogeochemical processes. Cycling of organic matter, microbial interactions with higher forms of biota, and the factors affecting these processes and interactions are described. This book is of special interest to researchers and those involved in management of acid - stressed waters.
