This paper covers the decline of brant (Branta bernicla), control of hunting, habitat conservation, total world population, man's changing of the landscape, etc. Considerable discussion is focused on the adverse effects of disturbance caused by locating an airport amidst the brant. The authors believe the future of brant is in doubt because of the various changes wrought by man.
