Partnerships,
especially those that involve people representing a variety of interests,
have become increasingly important in the effort to conserve vulnerable
plant and animal resources. The broad-based effort to conserve the San
Pedro River is an example of this collaborative approach. Twenty government
agencies and private organizations have joined to ensure that the San
Pedro, one of the last undammed desert rivers in the United States, continues
to support a rich diversity of wildlife. Through partnerships like this,
government agencies, private landowners, conservation organizations, and
individuals can pool their resources, talents, and experiences to achieve
common goals. In this Bulletin, we take a look at some important
conservation partnerships. |
