		In considering the role of tourism in the sustainable use of biological resources and their diversity, it is important that the potential adverse impacts of tourism are fully considered.
		Although such impacts on biological resources may be less easy to quantify and analyze systematically, they may be at least as important as, if not more important than, environmental impacts in the long term.
		Pressures from tourism activities on biological resources and their diversity are enormous and includes: erosion and pollution from the construction of hiking trails, bridges in high mountains, camp sites, chalet and hotels.

	Environmental Baseline File for Biological Resources
		This Environmental Baseline File describes the biological resources that may be affected by the construction, operation and monitoring, and closure of a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada (hereafter referred to as the proposed action).
		Biological resources dependent upon springs and riparian zones in the region may be affected during construction, operation, and closure if groundwater withdrawals cause a decrease in water levels at those springs.
		Biological resources that depend on some springs in the region may also be affected if increases in human populations in communities surrounding Yucca Mountain (due to increased employment at Yucca Mountain) lead to increases in groundwater consumption.

	ERS Publications - Agricultural Resources and Environmental Indicators: Biological Resources and Agriculture
		Biological resources refer to the living landscape—the plants, animals, and other aspects of nature—and are important to society for the various services they provide, as well as problems they may create.
		Biological resources are grouped into those that affect agriculture, such as cultivated plants, pollinators, and pests; those that are sources of scientific inputs, such as agricultural plant varieties (and their wild relatives) that provide genetic resources; and those that provide natural goods and services, such as wildlife, fish, and scenic beauty.
		Because of this, private landowners may not have adequate incentives to consider the full range of goods and services produced by the biological resources under their control.
