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:
“There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The intent of matrimony, is not for man and wife to be always taken up with each other, but jointly to discharge the duties of civil society, to govern their family with prudence, and educate their children with discretion.”

“He is asleep. He knows no longer the fatigue of the work of deciding, the work to finish. He sleeps, he has no longer to strain, to force himself, to require of himself that which he cannot do. He no longer bears the cross of that interior life which proscribes rest, distraction, weaknesshe sleeps and thinks no longer, he has no more duties or chores, no, no, and I, old and tired, oh! I envy that he sleeps and will soon die.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
