The third part of the book is a call to action, urging readers to take steps to preserve America's wildlife for future generations.Throughout the book, Hornaday emphasizes the importance of conservation and the need for individuals and governments to take action to protect wildlife. He also discusses the economic and cultural value of wildlife, and the impact that their extinction would have on society as a whole.Overall, Our Vanishing Wildlife: Its Extermination And Preservation is a seminal work in the history of American conservation.
