Since the late 1990s, efforts have been underway in the U.S. and Canada to reduce the North American population of lesser snow and Ross's geese to sustainable levels due to the documented destruction of tundra habitat in Hudson Bay and other nesting areas. The Light Goose Conservation Order was established in 1997 and federally mandated in 1999.

Snow geese have been swarming into the 7,500-acre Missouri refuge in recent weeks, photos shared on the refuge’s Facebook show. Snow geese stop at the refuge as they migrate north for spring.
The Skagit River Delta is an important winter habitat for snow geese (pictured) and trumpeter swans. Thousands of snow geese winter in the Skagit River estuary.

The early 1960s were a doozy for dusky Canada geese. Its primary summer and nesting grounds — the mosaic wetlands of the Copper River Delta near Cordova, Alaska — were hit by the 9.2-magnitude ...
The hunting programme was introduced to control the goose population and prevent overuse of the bulrush marsh and fields in the NWA or adjacent fields. In the fall, a controlled greater snow goose hunt is authorised in eight hunting grounds grouped into four zones with a total area of approximately 53 hectares.
