When I came here for the first time in 2014, I stayed at the Limneo B&B in the Chrisochorafa Village and met its owner, Nikos Gallios. They were still listed as Endangered, but wildlife management measures taken in this park were clearly working. Below legal size for humans is still legal for pelicans. What should I expect?

Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it sometimes takes a “village” of rehabbers to save threatened wildlife. The 2014 season demonstrated the power of cooperation, communication, and determination to save three Chimney Swifts. As a result of human interference, four Chimney Swift nestlings had to be rescued.

None fly, most are curious and social, which probably contributes to our cultural perception of penguins as one step away from human. This is not your ordinary reference book, though it was cited as one of the best reference sources of 2014 by Library Journal.

Perhaps the most positive reaction came from noted bird photographer Marie Read, who noted that the information about waterfowl reaction to humans and decoys would be of great interest to nature photographers. I was really taken aback when I saw this. Reactions varied from confusion to distaste. Harrison, 2005, PUP).

Lacey of Iowa introduced the nation’s first wildlife-protection law, which banned the interstate shipping of unlawfully killed game. People don’t respect wildlife. Some people actually don’t consider human beings as animals. Some people think humans are superior to all other life forms. A newly created U.S.
