Welcome to the first edition of Conservation History. This journal is dedicated to sharing America's complex and fascinating history of wildlife conservation with the American public. Many (but not all) of these stories are presented in the unique voices of conservationists on the front lines, those men and women working on refuges and other habitats in an effort to preserve our precious wildlife legacy. In fact, it is the desire for preservation that joins conservation biology to Conservation History. Just as we have, after much trial and error, come to recognize the importance of preserving the full panoply of species diversity, so to we seek to preserve that history in all its first person narrative richness. So please enjoy this small slice of our rich wildlife history and come join us on this ongoing journey to conserve both our cultural and our natural history.
