Thanks Sue, I had no idea. My ignorance is such that when I saw Mara's question I thought it was in some way related to Boy Scouts!
Dr Sue Levy (X) Jul 26, 2006:
It's a very old title Sandra. Dates back to Charlemagne, who created a wolf hunting corps.

wildlife control coordinator

Basically he organises culling procedures, for those pesky wild boars, for example. This sounds nicely euphemistic.
