Are we wasting our resvurces |

in the face of future disaster

+A conservationist . visiting
Britlsh Columbia this month,
has taken a worried look at the
capacity of the world’ s rasour-
ces and the way in which the
world’s exploding population Is
consuming them.

Speaking In Victorl!a, Durward
L. Allen, Professor of Wild-
life Ecology in the Department
of Forestry and Conservation at
Purdue University, Indiana, sald
in parts

“This ts our wastrel era...
We have conned ourselves into
a state of mind whereby It Is
popular to dignify the ‘user’
and deride the ‘preserva-
tionist.? It seems a doubtful
hazard that too much of any-
thing is going tu be preserved,
but many things could easily be
over-used,’?

I consider Dr. Allen’s talk
an excellent one, based on well-
established facts. I think I can
agree with must of what hesaid,
but I feel he may have siurred
over some of the matters of

. present concern for whichthere
must be immediate action,

[I am concerned with the es-
sence of his remarks; that we
are dealing with a strictly limi-
ted quantity of resources In the
face of an exploding population
which can consume all that we
have, and all that technology
ean add, in a very few years
from now,

There seems to be no hope
that we can add appreciably to
the world’s standard of Hving
If the population increase con
tinues its trend which saw it
doubling every 154 years In
1800; every 41 years in 1960,
and now is expected to double
every 23 years by 2000 A.D,

+++

Sociologist Philip M. Hauser
of the University of Chicago
states that all the goods and
services now available in the

world would support about half
4 billlon people at the present
United States level of ilving
. . and yet the total population
of the planet now numbers 3,4
billion,

For much of the continent,
Dr, Allen rightly points outthat,
in North America, ‘*the contl-
nuing avatlability of usable re-
sources is primarily a resultof
today’ s burgeoning techno-
logy,*?

+++

Equally rightly, he«criticizess
greedy use of resources by those
out to turn a quick profit in
the light of today’s excessive
demand,

He suggests an answer tomany
of the problems of resources
versus demands are to be found
in population control, and [ be-
lieve anyone who thinks ser-
iously about the problem must |
agree, —

And yet, until such’ a balance
is achieved, we must make the
most intelligent use of our ree
Sources io meet mankind's
needs,

In British Columbia, for ex-
ampie, we are not suffering the
Pressing population problems
existing in other countries, in-
cluding that of Dr. Allen... In
fact, we are blessed with an
abundance uf resources far be-
yond our own requirements at
this thme,

t4+

In view of the present need
of others, and of our own need
in the years ahead, it would

seem very wrong to me if we
did not develop our resources
in the province to their fullest
potentlad, at the same time ob-
serving the principles of con-
servation, Not mind you, that
type of so-called consarvation
which restrirts the use of large
area’s from the sole benefit of
a Jew who are purely pleasure-
bent, but rather the type of con-
servation which serves both
commercial and aesthetic re«
quirements tothe maximum rea-
sonable benefits of all Interests,

One of British Columbia’ s
best examples of this Is ex-
pressed in the management oi
our forest lands where, througt
following sustained yield prin-
ciples, we are achieving a per-
petual harvest for forest in-
dustrial purposes, while at the
same time striving to offer anc
expand the opportunities for
lorest use by many other groups,
including those of the recrea-
slonist and the hunter,

As Dr. Allen sald;

“The remains, of course, the
matter of interpreting this. Ir
British Columbia, our par-
ticular .environment must lead
us to conslusions concerning
identification which would not be
appropriate in a.densely-popw
kated, highly « industriallzec
region, It really comes down t&
following the wise philosophy
of doing nothing in excess . ,
and that [s exactly how I see
British Columbla approaching
