Candidate Conservation Agreements to Minimize Military Conflicts with Wildlife Laws: The Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus)

The proposed Endangered Species Act listing of the gopher tortoise has the potential to impact the military mission at installations in the southeastern United States. Candidate Conservation Agreements with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could be a tool to promote conservation and potentially preclude listing. This project identified military activities that could be affected and determined that military natural resources managers are unsure if such an agreement would prevent impacts to the military mission or impose the same restrictions as federal listing. This project found that if a gopher tortoise Candidate Conservation Agreement can be developed such that it benefits the species as well as the military, it should be used as a model for other species.

Factors Affecting Jaguar and Puma Predation on Livestock in Costa Rica

The wild cats and the livestock farmers are part of the space conflict in the rural areas in Latin America. In this sense, this conflict causes a discomfort among the livestock producers due to the loss of animals and, consequently, it also causes a negative reaction towards the wild cats leading such reaction into the elimination of the wild cats per se. Although, there have been some initiatives have tried to approach such conflict by recommending mitigation and prevention measurements to the producers, these measurements are undertaken without coordination. For this reason, the following project presents a planning tool that can ease the coordination processes undertaken for the solving of the conflict between human beings and wild cats.
