Duties
Duties of conservation officers vary depending upon what type of area they live in. For example rural areas may have issues that deal more with wildlife and natural resources compared to large cites that would have issues that deal with pollution or not dumping chemical waste at proper sites (Huss 14). Conservation officers report conditions of fish and wildlife and their habitats, recommend changes in hunting and trapping seasons, and implement control measures (trapping or relocating animals). They also patrol areas to prevent illegal killing of game, deal with poachers, prevent pollution of waterways, and investigate suspected violations (Lawson 332). Conservation officers do not just deal with habitat, fish, and wildlife but they also must deal with the people that interact with each of those things. “Experienced conservation officers give seminars to educate the public on ecology and the value of natural heritage… and seminar topics include gun safety and the needs of wildlife” (Lawson 342). Also conflicts between hunters and land management experts maybe need to be resolved because different views may arise: for example the killing of female deer. Hunters believe female deer should not be hunted because they replenish animal numbers whereas land management experts may believe the killing of female deer is necessary to prevent over population (Lawson 340). since 1900s they have been roaming.

Famous quotes containing the word duties:
“Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a “taxing- machine;” to the contented, a “machine for securing property.” Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“There must be a world revolution which puts an end to all materialistic conditions hindering woman from performing her natural role in life and driving her to carry out man’s duties in order to be equal in rights.”
—Muammar Qaddafi (b. 1938)
“What between the duties expected of one during one’s lifetime, and the duties exacted from one after one’s death, land has ceased to be either a profit or a pleasure. It gives one position, and prevents one from keeping it up. That’s all that can be said about land.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
