Abstract
As seen in chapter 4, private landowners have complex legal links with the wild animals that wander on their lands. They do not own the wildlife, but they do possess the right to exclude outsiders from entering their lands to hunt, fish, or trap. To that extent, they enjoy special privileges with respect to the wildlife. For many landowners, hunting is a valuable use of their land and an important revenue source. That revenue from hunters stays with the landowner, even though the animals being hunted (as explained in chapter 2) are the property of the people collectively or of the state as trustee.

Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
