Protecting our Natural Heritage
|
The efforts of Biodiversity Conservation Alliance to protect Native Species and
their Habitats can be divided into five programs:
-
Medicine Bow National Forest
We are working to protect the remaining wild areas on the Forest
and to protect individual species and special habitats in the
Medicine Bow ecosystem.
-
Black Hills National Forest
Our strategy is to stop damaging
logging and roading projects and to push the USFS to maintain natural
diversity and ecosystem function, and to reduce the emphasis on
maximum commodity production.
-
BLM Wildlands
We have recently embarked on a program
designed to gain protection for the special values on BLM lands in Wyoming.
Through this program we are inventorying BLM lands for
undeveloped areas, writing comments on project plans, having
meetings with agency officials, and organizing citizens to express their
views.
-
Wild Species
Our goal
is to gain protection for the entire range of vulnerable species,
especially those non-charismatic species that have historically lacked
a voice in Wyoming.
-
Wyoming Waters
We are working with
other Wyoming groups to fill the need for additional citizen oversight
and participation in water quality issues all across Wyoming.
