But as Republican support has decreased since 2004, the gap between the two groups has widened to 38 percentage points. 

this spring demonstrate why we should continue to invest in America’s lands and waters for the benefit of our families, communities and economies.

We understand this country faces a budget crisis and that all Federal programs, including conservation initiatives, should share a fair proportion of the spending reductions. We understand, as well, that the leadership of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee faces daunting challenges in constructing a bill with very limited resources. And we recognize some positive elements of the bill such as support for fire restoration.

Under the federal law, hunters are prohibited from shooting or trapping wolves while at their dens with cubs, using airplanes to scout for potential grizzly bear targets, trapping bears with wire snares and luring bears with food to get a point-blank kill.

Organisations require a new training regime that can offer a modern generation of entrepreneurs and leaders the right set of tools to balance both economic and environmental sustainability.

Minimising these inefficiencies through careful waste management translates directly into reduced costs, and does not require lowering output.

The country’s size, number of species, and conservation status from the start of the study were all important in determining how development affected biodiversity.

109 countries that signed the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and that increased their conservation budget accordingly had significantly lower biodiversity loss.

Not all social networking is created equal.

Travel and tourism help to stimulate the state economy.

Arizona outdoor enthusiasts support conservation through the purchase of hunting and fishing equipment.

Bradley has filed a bill seeking to double that to $100 million a year.

Amendment 1.

Though legislators argued they could not fund Florida Forever during the recession, the FDOT budget makes clear that this was a matter of political will, and not money.

The ideal “cost-effective” group is what we should be aiming for with every endangered species: enough funding and evidence of recovery. But two groups had evidence of overspending. One was the “costly success” group that showed evidence of recovery but had more funding than needed. The second was a “costly failure” group that had adequate funding but wasn’t showing evidence of recovery.

Companies that have signed up for its program pay an initial enrollment fee based on their size and activity, and in exchange receive a guarantee not to be placed under future regulatory burdens.

The strategies are applied too generally, they say, as an inflexible, regulatory "blueprint"

only 12 percent of endangered species on the U.S. endangered species lists are receiving as much funding as prescribed in their recovery plan.

conservation groups often fail to look into past patterns of human population densities in and around proposed protected areas. They also fail to delve into the history of land tenure, conflict and resource use in the forests or habitats they want to protect.

“If the local people do not see a benefit of local conservation, then whatever the laws are, they are going to be ineffective,

displacing local communities from their traditional lands, restricting their access to resources within the parks, and providing little or no compensation, can make them hostile towards the conservation groups and their efforts. Often, this leads to conflict, compelling the communities to go against the established rules, and harvest resources and hunt illegally.

Annual surveys.

The ultimate success of efforts to restore breeding populations, whether by natural or artificial means, depends largely on survivorship. Providing improved habitat conditions, particularly during the winter period, probably is the most important means of maximizing survivorship.
