The dams would irrigate an area the size of New Jersey and Rliode Island combined and produce 12.1 billion kilowatts of power annually. The dams would also improve navigation and fishing. Since the beginning of planning in 1957, 20 nations, 11 United Nations agencies, three foundations and a number of private companies have participated in the work and pledged a total of $44 million.

Alta. AP -Canadian and United States wildlife officials have given up direct-intervention: to slop the whooping crane from skidding into extinction. The wildlife departments in both countries have agreed to launch an egg gathering program in Wood Buffalo Park, 600 miles north- of Edmonton, and raise the stately birds in captivity. Nature can't be blamed for the decline of North America's tallest bird. Civilization forced to retreat into remote regions and wanton slaughter reduced the wildlife population to 33 from a peak of several thousand 150 years ago.

Through the captive rearing program it is hoped to raise up microscopic matching of their edges.

Coded signals only." THE WEEK Hi .4 "We know so little about their distribution and habits, it would be folly to barge in with helicopters in the expectation of sealing eggs without jeopardizing the whooping crane's climb back to safe numbers "It's time we recognized that it is pure a false pride in our fragmentary knowledge of nature, to say that a species is in a cul-do-sac or doomed to extinction. We simply do not know what the future holds for the whoopers." The new step taken by the governments will see six eggs or the product of three nesls taken from Wood Buffalo Park in 1965. The eggs will be flown to a propagation center in the United States where they will be hatched and the young birds reared with special facilities.

"It's not a new idea," said Ron Mackay, operations supervisor for the western region of the Canadian Wildlife Service. "Nor is it one that has the unqualified support of all wildlife experts, including men in government wildlife service. "But to be realistic, it's the only tack we can take.

We've tried to let the birds increase their own without much success. To continup as we now are doing would only contribute the eventual extinction of the whoopers." Not so, says Roland C.
