Subject: "Wyoming conservation crisis"
 
The "Wyoming conservation crisis," as Stan Moore called it, illustrates
why the wildlife profession needs to take a stance on economic growth.
The pressures for oil and gas
development don't exist because there is a national goal to maximize the
extraction of oil and gas deposits.  The pressures exist because of a
primary, perennial, and bipartisan goal of economic growth.  Economic
growth requires a source of energy: thus the connection between the
national goal of economic growth and the Wyoming conservation crisis, the
Arctic conservation crisis, the Gulf of Mexico conservation crisis, the
Great Lakes conservation crisis, and the Appalachia conservation crisis.
 
Economic growth is an increase in the production and consumption of goods
and services, and is a function of population and per capita consumption.
Neoclassical economists claim there is no limit to economic growth
because
of the substitutability of resources and perpetually increasing
productive
efficiency.  This claim is logically extended to the corollary that there
is no conflict between economic growth and wildlife conservation.  The
neoclassical theory of growth ignores fundamental laws of ecology and
physics.  As for the relationship between economic growth and wildlife,
due
to the tremendous breadth of the human niche, the scale of the human
economy grows at the competitive exclusion of wildlife in the aggregate.
 
Yet economic growth remains a national goal (as manifested, for example,
in
the mission of the U.S. Department of Commerce) because of an iron
triangle
of corporate interests, neoclassical growth economists, and political
lackeys.  It remains a national goal for one other important reason: the
inability or reluctance of those who know better to do anything about it.
The longer the wildlife profession, for example, fails to illuminate the
fundamental conflict between economic growth and wildlife conservation,
the
more crises will arise.  We can't expect anyone else to do it!
 
Especially in these times of rolling blackouts and "conservation crises,"
wildlife professionals need to point out the fundamental conflict between
economic growth and wildlife conservation whenever possible.  By "need",
I mean for the sake of conserving wildlife, their own wildlife-related
jobs, and their grandkids' future.
 
If you haven't checked out my website for awhile (or ever), I invite you
to
do so and see what various citizens have been saying about economic
growth vs. the steady state economy:
 
http://homestead.juno.com/brianczech/steadystate.html
 
These citizens need help, though.  They need ecological professionals
like
us to broach the topic of economic bloating in public forums rather than
complain about it behind closed doors.

Wildlifers --
 
I am fairly new to this (Wildlife Society) listserver, and am not sure if
this issue has been publicized widely in the wildlife community.   But I
feel the ramifications of this situation can be applied far beyond
Wyoming. And I would like to share what I hope could be considered as a
common-sense approach to a conservation issue and land-use philosophy
that poses significant threats to wildlife in various places all over the
world.
 
The philosophical issue is whether short-term mega-profits for industry
(in this case the oil/gas exploration-development industry) is worth
long-term habitat and species decline or even possible extirpation and
extinction.
 
The situation I am focused on is discussed in some detail  in the
newsletter "Frontline", published by the Wyoming Outdoor Council, dated
Summer 2001.  The Wyoming Outdoor Council has more information online at
their website at http://www.wyomingoutdoorcouncil.org.
In a nutshell, trillions of cubic feet of coalbed methane gas lie under
the landscape of Wyoming, and are worth many billions of dollars.
Already much exploration and development have occurred in the Powder
River Basin of Wyoming, but much more recovery activity is planned in
other regions of the state.  "What's the big deal?", one might ask.
 
First, the method of recovery of coalbed methane gas involves placement
of wells in dense clusters across the wild landscape.  These wells
require installation of electric power lines, noisy compressors, and
pumping of thousands of gallons of water per day, often dumped right into
the desert soil, depleting aquifers and sometimes depositing mineral-rich
waters that are toxic to plantlife and even to domestic livestock.
According to the newsletter "Frontline" the Powder River Basin "is
slotted for 51,000 wells by 2010 and according to industry estimates, as
many as 100,000 wells in the next 50 years, to recover 39 trillion cubic
feet of coalbed methane reserves."  And another region of Wyoming, the
Green River Basin, is estimated to hold 314 trillion cubic feet of
coalbed methane reserves!
 
Wyoming is home to some of the last substantial populations of Greater
Sage Grouse, which is a species in severe decline and believed to be
headed for petitoning for listing under the Endangered Species Act across
its range.  The installation of these thousands of wells, power lines,
power poles, compressors, etc., will fragment habitat that is already
degraded in many places by overgrazing by domestic livestock.  Will sage
grouse lek and breed near those noisy wells and compressors?  Will they
be subject to increased predation by golden eagles, using the power poles
as convenient hunting perches across the landscape?  What effect will all
that water have on water tables, plant life, and overall landscape health
long-term?  Can sage grouse survive coalbed methane extraction in one of
their last strongholds (Wyoming)?
 
What about migratory herds of antelope, elk, deer, and other wildlife?
Will the fragmentation of such large areas of habitat block migration
routes?
 
Here is my main point --  It seems like it would be common sense to
refrain from blindly rushing into the installation of such large scale
developments.  It seems like it is probably inevitable that these
reserves will ultimately be exploited.  But must the whole state be
exploited simultaneously?  Why not think long-term and ask the
corporations to fragment their own developments and stagger them over
many decades.  In fact, why not insist that the development of coalbed
methane follow a finely planned schedule that allows for limited
development in localized areas in staggered succession, so that one
recovery zone is depleted, restored, and renewed as suitable wildlife
habitat before the next recovery zone is developed.  That would mean
industry would have to remove the wells, the power lines, the power
poles, the roads, the compressors and all the facilities in a limited
recovery zone first -- and then the industry could move on to another
adjacent or distant area.  This might give wildlife populations a
fighting chance to adapt, to move, to thrive in one area while
development goes on in another area.
 
Certainly, the history of extractive industry is to go for maximum
profits in minimum time spans, and to attempt to disregard habitat and
wildlife impacts.  This needs to change.
Some day, perhaps many decades, or even several centuries in the future,
all that coalbed methane will be recovered and burned up.  Will there be
any sage grouse left in Wyoming?  Will there be any habitable space for
them to live? What about pronghorns and moose and elk?
 
We can have our energy and our wildlife both if we are smart as a
society.  I believe it is critical that the wildlife community lend its
voice to issues such as this.  Today we are talking about Wyoming.  But
the same general situation is true in Kazakhstan, where perhaps saker
falcons and bustards may be at risk.  Next decade we may be talking about
recovery of some other mineral in Florida or Kentucky or southern Mexico,
and the survival of jaguars or monarch butterflies or some forest falcon.
 
In my view, wildlifers need to be more than just biologists, though we
already have a great legacy of conservation.  Hunters, fishermen,
birders, falconers, biologists, hikers, need to recognize that the future
threats to conservation and preservation will likely be greater and
greater.  At some point, we absolutely will need to speak out on human
population growth as the greatest threat to wildlife.  But I feel we need
to also find a way to remind society at large that long-term thinking is
absolutely essential for all human activities.  I see the day coming, and
it is already long past due, when ecological training should be a
mandatory part of all levels of basic as well as higher education.
Business schools should teach students of commerce and industry the
critical aspects of human impact in cycles of commerce, production,
extraction, and sustainable industry and living.  We just have to learn
to do this!
 
Wyoming is facing a current crisis, which is accentuated because we have
in Federal office a couple of high executives who, between them, have
obtained personal incomes in the many millions of dollars directly from
oil/gas exploration.  They want to let the good times roll for that
industry.  I do not deny that our society is heavily dependent on these
resources, but I propose that society force industry to think long-term,
to limit impact, and think in terms of long-term sustainable profit
instead of short-term, environmentally destructive mega-profit.
 
I hope we can avoid the choice of EITHER methane or sage grouse.
 
Let's be smart and have both!
 
One of my heros was the late conservationist David Brower -- who used to
say, "I'm not blindly against progress -- I am against blind progress".

Subject: Return of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment?
 
Legislation to Revive OTA Introduced
 
Washington, August 2, 2001
 
[HTML version is here: http://cnie.org/Updates/106.htm ]
 
Representative Rush Holt (D-NJ) has introduced legislation in the House
of Representatives to revive the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA),
an arm of the U.S. Congress that provided comprehensive assessments of a
wide range of scientific and technical issues from 1972 to 1995.
 
During operation, OTA supplied Congress with background papers,
briefings and testimony, but is best known for its in-depth, objective
reports of complex scientific and technical issues. These reports took
one to two years to produce and could be requested by the Chairman of
any Congressional committee.
 
OTA s Environment Program addressed areas including environmental health
and risk management, the use of renewable resources, and pollution
prevention, control and remediation. Its reports covered topics such as
agriculture, biological diversity, air and water pollution, the effects
of weather and climate change, management of solid, hazardous and
nuclear wastes, risk assessment methods and policy, and public land
management.
 
Resurrecting OTA was suggested in Recommendations for Improving the
Scientific Basis for Environmental Decisionmaking, the report from
NCSE s first National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment,
as a change that could "significantly improve efficiency and
communication among scientists and between scientists and
decisionmakers." The full text of this report can be found online at
www.NCSEonline.org.
 
National Public Radio s July 18th broadcast of All Things Considered
included a segment on reopening OTA. During this piece, Rep. Sherwood
Boehlert (R-NY), Chairman of the House Science Committee, and Rep.
Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), a physicist by training, lauded the work of OTA
and their "wonderful, detailed, long-term studies." However, Newt
Gingrich, Speaker of the House of Representatives when OTA was
eliminated, noted that many conservatives felt that OTA "was used by
liberals to cover up political ideology with a gloss of science."
Rep. Holt s bill, H.R. 2148, would revive OTA by simply reenacting its
1972 formative legislation and authorizing a budget of $20 million per
year for five years. This is the same level of funding OTA received in
1994. Currently, this legislation has 50 cosponsors, including:

Dear ECOLOG-L subscribers:  I am writing to let you know of the Jack Major
Memorial Student Grant Fund, which has been set up at the University of
California at Davis.  As most of you probably know, Dr. Major passed away
this past winter, and his wife, Mary, set up a grant fund in his honor.
The fund will support botanical (including plant ecological) field work by
UC Davis students (mostly graduate students, but also undergraduates) with
a yearly grant of $500.  The fund has been poorly advertised, and Jack's
students have requested that I make an effort to circulate this information
more widely, so that we can build up the fund to a level that will provide
student grants in Jack's name in perpetuity (that level is $10,000).  If
you are interested in contributing to the fund, please contact me at
eadean@ucdavis.edu (Ellen Dean, Director, Herbarium, Plant Biology, One
Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616).  Thank you for your help.  Ellen
