Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large pari of these resources. Millions of waterfowl（zKW） were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful

33、 of overly ambitious sportsmen.

34、destruction of migratory（迁徙的）waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.
