Vol.
XXV, No. 4—July/August, 2000
No government
agency working alone can ensure the survival of the wildlife resources
we all share. The cooperation of private land owners and a wide variety
of other interests is essential if we are to conserve our nation’s animal
and plant species for the future. Yet when people examine the effects
of their activities on the environment, they some-times face what they
see as a choice between conservation and the legitimate use of their land.
Congress addressed that issue in 1982 when it amended the Endangered Species
Act to authorize Habitat Conservation Plans. When carefully implemented,
these plans allow resource managers and property owners to carry out their
lawful activities while becoming partners in maintaining
wildlife habitat. |
