Book excerpt: The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a conservation program originally authorized in section 387 of the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996. WHIP is a cost share assistance program aimed at incentivizing landowners to develop private land into protected wildlife habitat. This program has promising and positive goals, but many shortfalls and inefficiencies exist in its policies and execution. Current government regulation of agriculture is in part to blame for environmental degradation, insecurities in the food system, and a decreased quality of life for farmers. The goals and design concepts behind WHIP make it an ideal candidate to usher in a future where wildlife conservation, modern agriculture, sustainable human land use, and successful land management can function together in accord. Modifying programmatic aspects of WHIP will increase the efficiency of this program, and improvements will provide an overall benefit to the environment, the public, and the landowners it aims to assist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation of wildlife and native habitat on private farmlands is more than just an ecological problem. It crosses into the realm of legal, social, political and economic systems. This study approaches the complex issue of protecting habitat on private lands from several frameworks, focusing on the region of rural southern Alberta, where much of the province's native habitat and wildlife has been lost. To encourage farmers to protect some habitat on their land, an array of private stewardship programs has been created. Private stewardships is simply the conservation of habitat on private lands which may or may not involve government assistance. Methods which range from transfer of owership to voluntary hand-shake type agreements are compared. Each situation should be treated as unique and the type of stewardship agreement should best suit that particular landowner. For certain situations, there are also several statutes which may be useful for protecting wildlife or habitat on private lands. Lacking in the providencial or federal wildlife are explicit sections directed at native habitat and wildlife protection on private land. As a case study of a private stewardship program, I developed Operation Burrowing Owl as a providencial program in 1990 and acted as co-ordinator for 1990 and 1991. This case study demonstrates that while there are certain advantages to voluntary stewardship such as reduced cost and a high degree of flexibility, there are also drawbacks such as lack of economic incentives for farmers. Given the current farm crisis, farmers are faced with many difficults decisions related to reducing their debt load. In this economic climate, protecting wildlife may not be a high priority. An overview of the highly complex network of agricultural policies which in may instances encourage farmers to convert native prairie to agricultural land is offered. This policy system has an interesting history which shows that to a great extent, policies have been established on an ad hoc basis rather than frorn a more holistic approach which would also consider potential effects of agricultural policies on the environment. In order to illustrate some of the concepts explored, this study concludes with an examination of a single farm using a Map Processor / Geographic Information System. The manipulations performed demonstrate that agricultural systems cab be compatible with habitat retention. This type of exercise is important for policy makers and wildlife agencies since the management unit affected by agricultural policies and programs is the family farm.

Book excerpt: Applied Wildlife Habitat Management, Second Edition, provides a practical guide for users with many levels of expertise in wildlife habitat management and an interest in land conservation planning. Topics are presented so the reader can develop a component of a wildlife management plan through the completion of each chapter—wildlife habitat planning, wildlife habitat relationships, environmental measurements, wildlife habitat analyses, habitat management techniques, common planning approaches, and emerging issues. The work introduces the basic tools to understand, plan, implement, measure, analyze, and document efforts to improve habitat for wildlife using science-based decision-making approaches. Providing a step-by-step guide that is adaptable to a range of environmental settings, the authors first lay out the ecological principles applicable to any project. They take the reader through various sampling designs, measurement techniques, and analytical methods required to develop and complete a habitat project, including the creation of a report or management plan. End-of-chapter summaries emphasize key management concepts with exercises putting ecological principles into practice. This guide is an invaluable reference for students, land managers, and landowners who are developing and implementing management plans for habitat modification and improvement on both private and public lands.
