 | Energy Development and Wildlife Conservation in Western North America Energy Development and Wildlife Conservation in Western North America offers a road map for securing our energy future while safeguarding our heritage. The final section calls for a shift away from site-level management that has failed to mitigate cumulative impacts on wildlife populations toward broad-scale planning and implementation of conservation in priority landscapes. The book concludes by identifying ways that decision makers can remove roadblocks to conservation, and provides a blueprint for implementing conservation plans. Energy Development and Wildlife Conservation in Western North America is a must-have volume for elected officials, industry representatives, natural resource managers, conservation groups, and the public seeking to promote energy independence while at the same time protecting wildlife. David Naugle is an associate professor and applied landscape ecologist in the Wildlife Biology Program, University of Montana, Missoula. |
