|  | new working group
« Thread Started on Dec 5, 2005, 5:33pm » | |
Hello CPC/SCB members,
I'm starting a new work group, which will seek to put together a "conservation biology alternative" for the BLM Resource Management Plan revisions for the
Moab and Monticello BLM Field Offices in southeast Utah.
As you know, BLM Resource Management Plans shape most management actions including grazing, off-highway vehicle use, oil and gas development, wildlife
habitat protection, wild and scenic river designation recommendations, and more.
Our existing group working on this project (myself and a co-worker here at Wild Utah Project, and a couple partners at other organizations here in Utah) would be keen to have a few conservation biologists familiar with the science and studies behind some of the resource issues (oil & gas development impacts to wildlife, effects of ORV use to desert soils, aridland grazing
systems, etc.) join the team and offer input ranging from pertinent literature reviews to conservation-biology based "BMPs," to guidance for field indicators
to trigger management changes, etc.
There is a lot of work to do between now and spring of 2006 (when the DEIS for the BLM's proposed management alternatives in the RMP revisions are supposedly going to be out for public review). The sooner we can deliver a "Conservation Biology Alternative" to the field offices the better chance we have of it being addressed in the DEIS next year.
Just let me know if you're interested in helping out!
Thanks, Allison (wup1@xmission.com)
