Hinterland Who’s Who: The Canadian Beaver, ca. ~1970s.

Hinterland Who’s Who is best known as a series of 60-second public service announcements profiling Canadian animals and birds, produced by Environment Canada Wildlife Service and the National Film Board of Canada in the 1960s and 70s, and re-launched by the Canadian Wildlife Federation in the 2000s.
