Fur is a natural product that supports the livelihoods and cultures of tens of thousands of rural and aboriginal people in North America. Living on the land, they have a direct interest in protecting wildlife habitat. They are the first to sound the alarm when wilderness regions are threatened by pollution or poorly planned development projects. They are true "practicing conservationists."

The men and women of the North American fur trade are proud of the skills and traditions they maintain. Trapping beaver, muskrat and other animals provides trappers with food and money for new equipment and supplies needed to maintain a land-based life. Meat not used for food is returned to the forest to help other animals survive the long winter. Nothing is wasted!

" Trappers receive training, and trapping is carefully regulated
through registered trapping areas, harvest quotas,
hunting seasons, and other measures to prevent over-harvesting
and to ensure that the best available methods are
used to promote responsible conservation. "
