Highway-wildlife Relationships


Book Description

This study assesses, primarily through an extensive literature review, what is known about highway-wildlife relationships and suggests research and management approaches to protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and environmental quality. A cooperative effort to this end among natural resource and highway agency personnel is needed on a continuing basis from the initial planning stages for new highway construction through operation and maintenance. The 20 million or more acres in highway rights-of-way have been largely neglected as wildlife habitat.







Ecological Reclamation in Canada at Century's Turn


Book Description

Presents proceedings of a conference on the ecologically based reclamation and restoration of lands and waters disturbed by human activities. Topics of papers included restoration of mined lands, disturbed wetlands, soils disturbed by seeding and irrigation practices, lands and waters disturbed by removal and dumping of urban snow, and more general topics including effects of climate change over a major river basin and the role of environmental impact assessment in ecological restoration. The final paper is an evaluation of the ecological restoration situation in Canada. Although papers were presented from most parts of Canada, emphasis was on the Canadian prairies.
