Restoring Colorado River Ecosystems: A
Troubled
Sense of Immensity by
Robert W. Adler,
explores the many questions and challenges
surrounding the issue of large-scale
restoration of the
Colorado River basin, and of large-scale
restoration in
general. He evaluates the relationships
among the laws, policies, and institutions
governing
use and management of the Colorado River for
human
benefit and those designed to protect and
restore the
river and its environment. While the book is
primarily
about the restoration of Colorado River
ecosystems, it is
also about uncertainty, conflict, competing
values, and
the nature, pace, and implications of
environmental
change.

CONNECT with Nature and Conservation
efforts in Oklahoma...
The Oklahoma Wildlife and Prairie Heritage
Alliance was formed to provide enhanced
coordination, cooperation and communication
to conserve the short and mixed grass
prairie's diverse habitat and unique wildlife
which is found in Western Oklahoma. The
organization
distributes information to assist landowners,
informs the region's communities and
businesses, and serves as a conduit for
wildlife and prairie heritage programming
opportunities for the area.
The
Oklahoma
Wildlife Federation is Oklahoma's oldest
conservation organization. The federation is
made up of diverse groups of people with
different interests that come together to
reach a common goal. Many of their members
are birdwatchers, hunters, bikers, fishermen,
boaters, campers, and people who genuinely
love the Oklahoma outdoors. Oklahoma is
facing challenges in funding, challenges in
access to public lands for the outdoor
enthusiasts, and challenges due to aquatic
invasive species. The goal is to find
answers to these problems.
The
Oklahoma
Native Plant Society encourages the
study, protection, propagation, appreciation
and use of Oklahoma native plants. They
publish Oklahoma Native Plant Record, a
scholarly journal, conduct an annual
Wildflower Workshop, sponsor field trips
spring, summer and fall, holds a Wildflower
Photo Contest each year, and sponsors a
program, Color Oklahoma, to raise funds for
planting native wildflowers along Oklahoma's
highways. Many of the best botanists,
biologists, naturalists and teachers in the
state are members.
