""Our Vanishing Wildlife: Its Extermination And Preservation"" is a book written by William Temple Hornaday in 1913. The book discusses the issue of wildlife extinction and the need for preservation. Hornaday was an American zoologist and conservationist who was concerned about the rapid decline of many species of animals in North America. In the book, he describes the causes of extinction, including habitat destruction, hunting, and the introduction of non-native species. He also provides examples of species that have already gone extinct and those that are on the brink of extinction.

He proposes various solutions, including the creation of national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, and the regulation of hunting and trapping.
