"WILDLIFE CONSERVATION AT THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN ARSENAL
Introduction
Rocky Mountain Arsenal was a United States Army industrial site used as a production facility for chemical weapons, nerve gas, and artillery shells. The facility was leased later to a private sector firm that used the facility to produce a commercial pesticide. The Arsenal site was contaminated with hazardous chemicals as a consequence of both the governmental and the private sector activities.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) acquired Rocky Mountain Arsenal and manages the site as a wildlife refuge. The Arsenal has been designated as a ?Superfund? site for cleanup action.
This research (1) provides a location and description of the.."

Abstract
This paper reviews Tracey Kidder's novel, "Mountains Beyond Mountains". The paper discusses questions posed in the book and in so doing, analyzes Kidder's views, as presented in the book. The essay draws heavily upon the Kidder work itself. It discusses, in detail, underlying conditions in developing countries and in Haiti in particular.
From the Paper
"Much like a radio wave, life is a series of repeating peaks and troughs, a succession of failure and success. Tracey Kidder's, Mountains Beyond Mountains is an appropriate adaptation of the Haitian proverb, "-beyond mountains there are mountains." Much like the radio wave metaphor, this proverb elicits a multitude of interpretations, including, as Kidder explains in an interview, "sometimes it's used to express the idea that opportunities are inexhaustible, and sometimes as a way of saying that when you surmount one great obstacle you merely gain a clear view of the next one." In the context of the culture it comes from, this proverb is an important aspect of why Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to insurmountable challenges, only to affect change and lives, no matter what the magnitude."

Wildlife Management, 2004.
This paper discusses the retention of farmland for recreational and wildlife conservation uses.
1,925 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 7 sources, APA, £ 42.95
»

Abstract
This paper explains that there is a need to evaluate the economic and social profitability of not selling rural or close-in suburban land for development, but rather retaining the land for farming or other uses, such as hunting and fishing, wildlife observations, running a rural bed and breakfast inn, and other non-farming activities. The author points out that, in 2001, the federal government made grants available to landowners in 28 states and Puerto Rico for conservation activities as part of the Endangered Species Act Landowner Incentive Program, an initiative established by Congress to provide financial assistance and incentives to private property owners who are willing to conserve listed species. The paper relates that the models created by Tara Wildlife Management Services and the Appalachian Growers Cooperative also provide lessons in the uses of land that do not involve ?factory farming? or use of non-biological farm inputs, but rather add to the beauty and small-scale economic utility of a landscape that might otherwise be lost.

From the Paper
"A 24-year old organization, American Farmland Trust, has been on the forefront of a conservation movement designed to bring the benefits of wildlife and land conservation to farmers and to the communities that surround farms, especially if those communities have been encroached by urban or suburban sprawl. Many people would be surprised to know more than half the nation?s food production, in dollar value, comes form communities surrounding cities. ?The amount of U.S. fruit and vegetable production in these rapidly growing areas is even more astonishing, exceeding 75 percent.? The benefits of farm and ranch land as a backdrop for tourism and outdoor recreation is ample, as the chambers of commerce in Colorado?s Rocky Mountains, the Pennsylvania Dutch country around Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia would attest."

Abstract
This paper examines how the main argument of Igoe's "Conservation and Globalization A Study of National Parks and Indigenous Communities from East Africa to South Dakota" has, as its title suggests, two main parts. It looks at how on the one hand the author examines the conservation movement and its impact upon indigenous peoples. However, the author is also interested in the processes by which conservation is spread through globalization and through colonialism in earlier years by the shaping of our perspectives on the world in which we live.

Abstract
This paper treats the issue of endangered wildlife and examines the status of the American Alligator, the Bald Eagle, and the Indiana Bat, three species named on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's (AGFC) list of "Species of Special Concern." The paper relates that both Arkansas' state government and that of the United States have attempted to establish policies that will ensure the protection of American wildlife. The paper attempts to prove that while a few of these policies have provided some safety for endangered wildlife, most have proven unsuccessful and in desperate need of serious change.
From the Paper
"The American Alligator is perhaps the most impressive success story of the attempts of both the federal government and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to protect an endangered species. The alligators, which are indigenous to the marshy areas of southern states like Florida and Louisiana, weren't threatened until alligator skin became fashionable, and thus, valuable, in the 1920's. Over a relatively short period of time, the southern marshes were full of 'hide-hunters,' who "decimated the species" (www.agfc.state.ar.us, 11-01-04). Finally, in 1967, alligators were declared an endangered species and granted protection.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the growth and development of the marine industry has been sustained by the rise and application of newer technologies, innovative business ideas and incentives given by the government. The writer then points out that with the turn of the twentieth century, one witnessed marine resources being widely explored and exploited for profit making. This exploration and exploitation has been enabled mainly by improved and enhanced technological innovations, which included fully developed and customized boats, fishing, digging and navigational equipment. This mushroom growth has left behind the institutions that are responsible for regulating marine laws. The writer discusses that Governments have been unable to maintain their regulatory measures with the pace of growth assumed by the private sector. The writer concludes that one of the most successful endeavors for the promoting of marine preservation and marine life protection has been the Greenpeace project that has been pressuring international and national governments to make and implement laws that protect the underwater environment, the animals and the future of the under water life. There is still a long way to go and sincere steps have to be taken to ensure comprehensive marine conservation

Background to the Problem
Marine Conservations Organizations
The First Law: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
The Second Law: The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)
The Third Law: Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act - Ocean Dumping
Conclusion
From the Paper
" Organizations engaged in political campaigning to pressurize Congress to pass laws and enforce them countrywide use public awareness and attention to rally support for their cause. The more public support they acquire, the higher the propensity of politicians jumping in the marine conservation campaign. Coast Alliance is one organization that can be considered as an ideal example for organizations that are currently active in political campaigning and gathering local support. It currently has coalition partners (other non-profit organizations) across America, all of whom are striving for maximum results. Similarly, Earthjustice is another organization that has been proactive engaged in the enforcement of existing laws representing hundreds of other marine conservation organizations. In addition, Marine Conservation Biology Institute aims to rally the scientific community on one platform in order to facilitate scientific research and set agendas for policy issues and pass on accurate information to both government and public."

Genetic Conservation, 2005.
This paper discusses the arguments surrounding genetic conservation, examining if it fulfills the standards of scientific credibility.
2,195 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 8 sources, APA, £ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the actual process of genetic conservation utilizes sophisticated technology and a method of "banking" animal sperm, eggs and embryos by means of keeping them on ice until they can be reintroduced to a species, a process that can be used not only for a species facing extinction but also for a species that has already become extinct. The paper relates that conservationists still struggle with the task of prioritizing and allocating effort; nonetheless, it appears that genetic conservation fulfills the standards of scientific credibility.
From the Paper
"Proponents of genetic conservation to save endangered species argue that this method of wildlife breeding is not genetic engineering, because they are not putting in genes that were not there before. The arguments for this are that genetic conservation does not create a new species based on a combination of genes, but merely preserves an existing species. They also argue that encouraging genetic diversity helps a species survive, and that in-breeding, which can weaken a species, does not occur. Supporters of genetic conservation hold the view that technology and committed people is what will ultimately save animals."

From the Paper
"To date an estimated 50 percent of the world's forests no longer exist. Each year mankind loses another 40 million acres to use, progress, fires and disease. The forest loss is already having a significant negative impact on the global issues surrounding environmental, social and economic issues."
""Until recently most forest loss occurred in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and temperate North America; between 1960 and 1990 one-fifth of all tropical forest cover was lost(Falconer, 1998).""

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the economic and political influences that made possible the implementation of conservation of historic buildings in contemporary society. This paper posits that rapid urbanization and need for economic gain and concern for environmentalism are the economic and political factors, respectively, that helped promote heritage conservation become implemented among historic buildings.
From the Paper
"The prevalence of the practice of heritage conservation has been instigated with cultural concerns that arise from a developed human society, along with its gradual movement toward becoming a more technologically-advanced civilization. Primarily, heritage conservation, specifically of historical sites and buildings, was introduced as part of organizations' attempts to preserve humanity's cultural heritage. That is, the argument put forth in introducing heritage conservation is culture-based."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the debate over drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The writer explores both sides and presents the argument that drilling will not negatively impact the environment and will support wildlife there. The writer uses the example of Purdhoe Bay to illustrate how drilling without harming the environment can be effectively done.
From the Paper
"Experts in the field of environment and science have been warning the world for years that the earth's resources are not unlimited and would eventually run dry. It has only been in the past few decades however that the world's population began to listen. In the panic about dwindling resources there has been a rush to locate new sources of energy and other needed materials. Environmentalists have moved in to block hasty projects while those who support them try to push them through and the end result is often a standoff. In the midst of this occurring the last American frontier, Alaska, has moved to the forefront of controversy. One such controversy is the proposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Proponents believe it will provide the world with a much needed energy source, while detractors of the drilling insist it will destroy the environment and harm local wildlife, in particular the caribou porcupines. Once one studies the facts, the past, and similar projects one will find that drilling can be done in an environmentally safe manner and provide the world with a much needed source of natural resources."
