"Energy Development and Wildlife Conservation in Western North
America" offers a road map for securing our energy future while
safeguarding our wildlife heritage.
Contributors show how science can help craft solutions to
conflicts between wildlife and energy development by delineating
core areas, identifying landscapes that support viable populations,
and forecasting future development scenarios to aid in conservation
design. The book
- frames the issue and introduces readers to major types of
extraction
- quantifies the pace and extent of current and future energy
development
- provides an ecological foundation for understanding cumulative
impacts on wildlife species
- synthesizes information on the biological response of wildlife
to development
- discusses energy infrastructure as a conduit for the spread of
invasive species
- compares impacts of alternative energy to those of conventional
development
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.
