Case Study: Appalachian Wildlife Foundation

The National Wildlife Federation, or NWF, can be accessed for in depth information via their interest group website at www.nwf.org. Selection of the National Wildlife Federation, for myself, was brought forth by my affinity for the outdoors and nature in general. Growing up enjoying activities such as canoeing, camping, fishing, hiking and boating has allowed myself to gain a respect for the vastness of our nations wild beauty. Along with this respect comes the aspiration to pass the joy of the outdoors along to my children and thus I feel diving into the NWF will prove to be beneficial to our family. Having no prior knowledge of this organization, I am very much excited about the task of deciphering this entity.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has a mission to preserve, conserve, manage, protect, and enhance the fish and wildlife of the state along with their habitats for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of the citizens of Tennessee and its visitors. This is a daunting task considering the varied interests of Tennessee’s sportsmen and women and the limited amount of funding available to support important programs and initiatives. The TWRA was established in 1949 and was called the Game and Fish Commission. It was completely reorganized in 1974, and it now consists of more than 600 professionals dedicated to the preservation, conservation, and enhancement of Tennessee's fish and wildlife. The TWRA is an independent state agency with the job of

In the past, I spent a summer researching the effects of climate change on small mammals under the mentorship of a college professor, and greatly enjoyed the experience. However, participation at the National Wildlife Refuge will foster a myriad of different skills. For instance, I will learn how to identify and handle different species like reptiles and amphibians, control the growth of invasive plants, test water quality, build fences or other structures, and interact with visiting groups. These activities, none of which I hold experience with, will provide me with insight into my consideration of working at a national wildlife refuge after graduating from Notre

With an estimated 19,520 deer maimed, dying gruesome, inhumane deaths at the hands of British Columbia drivers every year a solution needs to be found (“The Facts”). With the over population of deer in Victoria, a sight becoming more common, is the carcass of a deer which has been impaled by the bumper of an unfortunate motorist. These deaths are not only cruel and inhumane for the deer but also pose a danger to the motorist’s. The danger which deer pose to cyclists is one that cannot be overlooked. Cyclists do not have the added protection that motorist’s enjoy and are at higher risk of serious injury when a collision occurs. The menace rutting deer expose children and pets to is a

For this year’s Project Appalachia Experience, I hope to contribute my help from fixing up abandoned ground and making gardens for the community to use to get fresh fruit and vegetables. As well as working on making houses and repainting old buildings. My love to help others in need to make their lives a little easier.

I visited the Fort Snelling State Park (FSSP) in three different weeks. I found it as it’s a very beautiful, interesting, marvelous, and enormous area of habitat. It has 3,711 acres and 911,435 annual visitors. Naturalist is always there to interpret and explain about natural habitat. The prairie and forest are home to multi of wildlife, including deer, fox, white-tailed, woodchucks, turkeys, and coyotes. Turtles can be seen enjoying and relaxing in the sun along the lake, park, and the river.

The maxim cujus est solum ejus est usque ad coelum et ad inferos - "the owner of the soil owns to the heavens and also to the lowest depths" – applies to the ownership of land in Oklahoma. However, early Oklahoma case law set the principle that “fugacious” substances that are capable of subsurface migration within a reservoir cannot be owned separately from the soil. As the owner of land does not own an interest in the hydrocarbons below the surface until he has extracted it and take personal possession. This doctrine of ownership is commonly referred to in the state as the "exclusive-right-to-take" theory. This means that the landowner or mineral rights owner only has the exclusive right to drill, produce and gain possession of hydrocarbons. This also includes the right to take possession of the oil and gas coming from below another person’s property.

The Bureau of Land Management should try to help the horses by keeping a small organization that could watch the horses and allow adoption and let nature take its course on the remaining horses. The population of wild horses has become a problem and something needs to be done, but not to alter the way they

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s Wild Hog Program is leading transformational change across the country. Most states dealing with wild hogs and the damage they cause are hopeless. Their hopelessness is due to wild hogs being such prolific breeders and regulatory environments in states don’t allow for successful control or elimination of this exotic and destructive species. Thankfully, Tennessee is an exception and TWRA’s management of this species is being used as a model by other states to base their management on. Thus, there is now newfound hope of controlling these problems in most of the United States.

For tens of thousands of years, wild animals have been hunted and utilised by humans in Africa – be it for food or trade. Over the centuries, established methods for hunting and utilisation had arisen and evolved to become part of the very fabric of human existence in Africa. During the 1800s and well into the 20th century, European colonialists established and maintained substantial control over the African continent; as such, European influences affected multiple aspects of life for indigenous, black Africans as well as the wildlife with which they shared the land. The colonial rulers of the various African countries instigated their own concepts of wildlife utilisation across Africa – imposing it upon the indigenous populations. These concepts were often diametrically opposed to the culturally accepted methods and traditions of the various indigenous peoples for wildlife utilisation and exploitation. While these European concepts may have been beneficial to wildlife in some cases, the implementation of these concepts were solely for the benefit of the white ruling class. The subsequent resentment by indigenous communities over the forced acquisition of their land, restricted access to wildlife they had been allowed to hunt for generations before them, as well as continual oppression by this same colonial state, galvanised suspicion and hostility towards this colonial rulers as well as the specific conservation models imposed upon the indigenous communities by the state.

According to the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013, "wildlife conservancy" means: Land set aside by an individual, land owners, body corporate, group of owners or community for purpose of wildlife conservation. for Following the enactment of the Act, wildlife conservation is now a recognized form of land use. There are incentives for largescale landowners to convert private ranches to conservancies. Presently, there are between 133-140 conservancies spread across 22 counties covering over 7.5 million acres. In Isiolo county, we have 8 conservancies straddling across the county. In the recent past, there has been an ongoing battle between conservancies and the local communities. Dozens of people have been killed or injured.
