In 1970 the Alberta wildlife act was expanded to include more species to give protection to all wildlife as opposed to only 'hunted'species.
The increased demand for 'wildlife' resulted in the need to manage harvesting and non consumptive(eg. wildlife watching) uses and value.
Environmental factors also began to affect habitat and wildlife populations making habitat management and protection essential..
Trudeau was prime minister.
