Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Student Conservation Association, Inc. (SCA) has been in partnership with the Department of the Army through a cooperative agreement for the purpose of conserving natural resources on military installations while offering educational service opportunities for youth since 1997. Young people participated in voluntary service through two SCA programs to accomplish this work: Conservation lnternships (previously known as the Resource Assistant Program) and Conservation Work Crews. All program activity sites with service dates and task orders are provided as Attachment A in the appendices. Army installations are highlighted in gray. Conservation lnternships provide educational service opportunities in conservation work to young adults eighteen years of age and older. These interns serve along side U.S. Army natural resource professionals providing much needed assistance while obtaining valuable career experience and training EXAMPLES OF APPROVED Statements of Work are provided as Attachment B in the appendices. Conservation Interns serve from 12 to 52 weeks. They are provided with a living/food allowance, travel to and from the site, medical insurance for 6 - 12 month positions, supplemental accident insurance and housing. Interns may also be eligible to receive an AmeriCorps education award for their service through a grant from the Corporation for National Service. Conservation Work Crews (CWC) are crews of 6 - 10 high school students (ages 16 - 19) who live and serve together with one to two SCA adult crew leaders. The crews serve for four weeks and then participate in a one-week recreational trip. These SCA crew members participate primarily in trail work and other labor intensive duties while living and working in an interdependent group dynamic (often camping) with a focus on both individual and group achievement.

Download or read book Legacy Demonstration of Technologies and Methodologies Relevant to Military Natural Resources Conservation written by William Seegar and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this demonstration has been to acquaint Department of Defense personnel with new technology and methods that will provide useful information about natural resources management and that can reduce the interference to military training that is caused by traditional field data gathering methods. The technologies described in this volume can simultaneously enhance military readiness and compliance with natural resources management policies. The central feature of the demonstration is the integration of wildlife ratio-tracking via the Argos-Trios satellite system with natural resources survey and mapping in geographic information systems. Four military installations were the focus of the demonstration. Each installation has received our computing software, map layers, and wildlife locations data relevant to the demonstration, thus providing them abilities for further analyses of existing information and capabilities to add new information. The studies conducted in conjunction with this project were demonstrations only, not rigorous scientific investigations. The resulting data should be treated as such. However, this demonstration project has proven the utility of remote, satellite-based data gathering technologies and methods for military natural resources conservation and management.

Book excerpt: An environmental journalist reveals how some California military bases are leading the charge in the fight against climate change. In California, the US military has begun to redefine how our national security operations relate to the destabilizing effects of climate change. Several bases have taken on a largely unrecognized yet crucial role in renewable-energy innovation and in preserving cultural and natural treasures. These facilities are going beyond environmental stewardship to align national defense with energy security and the protection of endangered species. In Unlikely Ally, environmental journalist Marilyn Berlin Snell takes readers through these bases to examine what twenty-first-century sustainable-energy infrastructure looks like; whether combat readiness and species protection can successfully coexist; how cutting-edge technology and water-conservation practices could transform life in a resource-constrained world; and how the Department of Defense's scientific research into the metabolic secrets of the endangered desert tortoise could speed human travel to Mars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When viewed from space, the Korean Peninsula is crossed by a thin green ribbon. On the ground, its mix of dense vegetation and cleared borderlands serves as home to dozens of species that are extinct or endangered elsewhere on the peninsula. This is Korea’s demilitarized zone—one of the most dangerous places on earth for humans, and paradoxically one of the safest for wildlife. Although this zone was not intentionally created for conservation, across the globe hundreds of millions of acres of former military zones and bases are being converted to restoration areas, refuges, and conservation lands. David G. Havlick has traveled the world visiting these spaces of military-to-wildlife transition, and in Bombs Away he explores both the challenges—physical, historical, and cultural—and fascinating ecological possibilities of military site conversions. Looking at particular international sites of transition—from Indiana’s Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge to Cold War remnants along the former Iron Curtain—Havlick argues that these new frontiers of conservation must accomplish seemingly antithetical aims: rebuilding and protecting ecosystems, or restoring life, while also commemorating the historical and cultural legacies of warfare and militarization. Developing these ideas further, he shows that despite the ecological devastation often wrought by military testing and training, these activities need not be inconsistent with environmental goals, and in some cases can even complement them—a concept he calls ecological militarization. A profound, clear explication of landscapes both fraught and fecund, marked by death but also reservoirs of life, Bombs Away shows us how “military activities, conservation goals, and ecological restoration efforts are made to work together to create new kinds of places and new conceptions of place.”

Download or read book More Than 25 Million Acres written by David Rubenson and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are the natural and cultural resource management responsibilities of the Department of Defense (DoD) changing? This report concludes that competition for federal lands in the West, regional habitat degradation in the East and on the Pacific Coast, and new scientific principles will make achievement of the core DoD resource management concerns of legal compliance and preservation of the military mission an increasingly complex issue. DoD will be required to interpret these goals in broad terms, to pay increased attention to the implications of trends in land use and land use policy outside the boundaries of the 25 million acres of DoD lands, and to develop new capabilities to cope with this complexity. Even the perspectives of the 104th Congress, with its emphasis on cost/benefit considerations and its potential willingness to consider justified exemptions, point to the need for DoD to bring additional analytic capabilities to the question of resource management. The report concludes that while issues of hazardous waste cleanup and management have dominated DoD environmental budgets, those issues are largely separable from the military mission and function under carefully scripted procedures. In contrast, resource management has a direct effect on the military mission and is likely to emerge as DoD's most fundamental environmental challenge.
