Comments NATURAL AREA PRESERVATION IN THE SOVIET UNION AND THE UNITED STATES: A COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE Thomas J. Schoeribaum* I. INTRODUCTION During the period of greatest public concern for environmental protection, the late 1960's and early 1970's, pollution control and development constraint seemed to be the paramount issues. Natural area preservation and the protection of endangered species, the major concern of older conservation organizations, such as the National Audubon Society, was considered to be a relatively minor aspect of a broader problem. Conservation was too narrow a theme for a move ment which gave the word "environment" a new meaning. At the present time however, there are signs of a return to the older concern of conservationists, the preservation of natural diversi ty. This has been stimulated by the realization that, despite recent governmental and public attention to the problem of environmental protection, an increasing number of areas important for their natural values have been modified and degraded; recent studies have shown that not only are many higher species of birds and mammals on the verge of extinction, but one-tenth of certain lower animal species as well as one-tenth of North American plant species are presently 1 2 endangered.
