Book excerpt: "Examination of the administration's limitation of Park Service personnel and funding through the imposition of unrealistic employment and budgetary ceilings, which is perhaps the major problem confronting the national park system today. The Park Service budgetary and personnel shortages have become an issue of increasing concern to environmental and conservation groups throughout the country. This problem has been the subject of considerable debate and discussion in hearings before the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee and in recent hearings by this subcommittee concerning national park service concession management practices. In the course of the hearings beginning today, the subcommittee hopes to determine the effect the ceilings are having on manage- ment and operation of the national park system and what can and should be done to improve the situation"--Page 1.

Download or read book Science and Ecosystem Management in the National Parks written by William Lee Halvorson and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science and Ecosystem Management in the National Parks presents twelve case studies of long-term research conducted in and around national parks that address major natural resource issues. These cases demonstrate how the use of longer time scales strongly influences our understanding of ecosystems and how interpretations of short-term patterns in nature often change when viewed in the context of long-term data sets. Most important, they show conclusively that scientific research significantly reduces uncertainty and improves resource management decisions. Chosen by scientists and senior park managers, the cases offer a broad range of topics, including air quality at the Grand Canyon; interaction between moose and wolf populations on Isle Royale; control of exotic species in Hawaiian parks; simulation of natural fire in the parks of the Sierra Nevada; and the impact of urban expansion on Saguaro National Monument. Because national parks are increasingly beset with conflicting views of their management, the need for knowledge of park ecosystems becomes even more critical - not only for the parks themselves, but for what they can tell us about survival in the rest of our world. This book demonstrates to policymakers and managers that decisions based on knowledge of ecosystems are more enduring and cost effective than decisions derived from uninformed consensus. It also provides scientists with models for designing research to meet threats to our most precious natural resources. "If we can learn to save the parks", observe Halvorson and Davis, "perhaps we can learn to save the world".

This book provides a compilation and synthesis of current scientific understanding regarding the causes and effects of these pollutants within national park lands. It describes pollutant emissions, deposition, and exposures; it identifies the critical (tipping point) loads of pollutant deposition at which adverse impacts are manifested.

Download or read book Requiem for America s Best Idea written by Michael J. Yochim and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his enthusiastic explorations and fervent writing, Michael J. Yochim “was to Yellowstone what Muir was to Yosemite. . . . Other times, his writing is like that of Edward Abbey, full of passion for the natural world and anger at those who are abusing it,” writes foreword contributor William R. Lowry. In 2013 Yochim was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). While fighting the disease, he wrote Requiem for America’s Best Idea. The book establishes a unique parallel between Yochim’s personal struggle with a terminal illness and the impact climate change is having on the national parks—the treasured wilderness that he loved and to which he dedicated his life. Yochim explains how climate change is already impacting the vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. A poignant and thought-provoking work, Requiem for America’s Best Idea investigates the interactions between people and nature and the world that can inspire and destroy them.
