Book Peak Oil Economic Growth and Wildlife Conservation

Download or read book Peak Oil Economic Growth and Wildlife Conservation written by J. Edward Gates and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed book focuses on one of the most important issues affecting humankind in this century - Peak Oil or the declining availability of abundant, cheap energy—and its effects on our industrialized economy and wildlife conservation. Energy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st Century directly affecting wildlife conservation wherever energy extraction is a primary economic activity and indirectly through deepening economic recessions. Since cheap, abundant energy has been at the core of our industrial society, and has resulted in the technological advancements we enjoy today, the peak in world oil extraction would potentially have major impacts on civilization unless we prepare well in advance. One potential economic solution covered in the book would be a Steady State Economy with a stable population and per capita consumption, particularly in such industrialized countries as the United States. Furthermore, the lack of cheap, abundant energy directly and indirectly affects conservation efforts by professional societies and federal and state agencies, and NGOs concerned with wildlife issues. We need to recognize these potential problems and prepare, as much as possible, for the consequences stemming from them.

Book The Effects of Oil and Natural Gas Development on Water Quality Aquatic Habitat and Native Fish in Streams Along the Wyoming Range

Download or read book The Effects of Oil and Natural Gas Development on Water Quality Aquatic Habitat and Native Fish in Streams Along the Wyoming Range written by Carlin E. Girard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil and gas development can affect aquatic ecosystems through water contamination, water use, and surface disturbance from infrastructure development (roads, pipelines, well pads, etc.). We examined how oil and gas development can affect water quality, habitat quality, and fish communities in the Upper Green River Drainage. We used multiple approaches to assess water quality and found several potential avenues of degradation. Surface disturbance likely contributed to elevated suspended sediment concentrations; spill history likely led to elevated stream polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations; and degraded drainage and riparian health likely contributed to greater temperature and discharge fluctuations in disturbed streams. We found that streams within the developed drainages had degraded ecological conditions, as indicated by the lack of sensitive macroinvertebrates, less willow cover along stream banks, predominantly run habitat, and increased proportions of fine sediment. In contrast, reference streams had consistently good water quality, sensitive macroinvertebrates, more riparian vegetation, more pool and riffle habitat, and higher proportions of gravel. Fish showed differential sensitivity to oil and gas disturbance. Colorado River cutthroat trout were only found in the reference streams, and in these streams mottled sculpin were found in higher abundance. In contrast, mountain suckers appeared to be habitat generalists and were able to persist in a wide range of conditions, including degraded sites in areas with high levels of energy development. The aquatic ecosystem impairment we documented in streams running through the Labarge Oil and Gas Field exemplifies the need for site specific research and mitigation strategies, to ensure that energy development does not compromise important ecological conditions and services.

Download or read book North America written by Kevin Hillstrom and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-08-26 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise yet thorough overview of the environmental issues, problems, and controversies facing the vast and diverse continent that is North America. North America, tells the story of this environmental awakening and the continuing problems that the continent faces. It tackles the tough issues, the complex problems, and the political controversies of the North American environment. According to some estimates, one out of every nine barrels of oil used in the world every day is consumed by a North American motorist. In 1996, World Wildlife Fund Canada estimated that the country was losing wilderness to development at a rate of more than one acre every 15 seconds. Today, this pace of destruction has been faulted for eroding much of the continent's fabulous natural wealth, and new emphasis is being placed on finding a more appropriate balance between development and conservation.
