Americans shift to wildlife photography over hunting in 1970s
A Fish and Wildlife Service survey shows nearly 50 million Americans observed wildlife in 1975, with 15 million in wildlife photography up from 5 million in 1970. Hunters numbered 20.6 million, down from 21 million in 1970, while non consumptive recreation grows. Fishing remains most popular with 53.9 million anglers, spending $15.2 billion. The study highlights a shift toward environment focus and urban access, plus nonconsumptive activities and urgent funding requests from states for wildlife programs.
