	Conservation Districts: Getting to the Roots \| NRCS
		Also, Wilson recognized that the acceptance of conservation in the demonstration projects rested partly on the fact that equipment, labor, and the assistance of trained soil conservationists were available to farmers.
		The movement was not led solely by government agencies, but also by landholders who converted friends and neighbors to the values of conservation farming.
		In some cases their recollection of "conservation" involved thoughts of the expropriation of the most valuable lands for white farmers and then the imposition of onerous rule for natives farming the poorer, steeper, more erodible lands (Stocking, 1985).

	Chapter 7: Conservation, Article 2
		This second idea argued for the benefits of conserving the natural environment to some degree and was arrived at through direct scientific observations of the results of deforestation, soil erosion and pollution of watersheds.
		The debate about nature and conservation had positive results, one of which was the establishment of the U.S. National Park system which began with Yellowstone Park in 1872 (the world’s first national park) and the formation of American conservation organizations such as the Sierra Club, founded in 1892 by John Muir.
		First of all, the conservation of palm biodiversity is worth doing because of its intrinic value to the earth’s natural biological processes and to allow palm evolution to continue as it has been for about the last 65 million years (Upper Cretaceous).

		The contemporary conservation movement has broaden from the early movement's emphasis on use of sustainable yield of natual resouces and preservation of wilderness areas to include preservation of biodiversity.
		The nascent conservation movement slowly developed in the 19th century, starting first in the scientific forestry methods pioneered by the Germans and the French in the 17th and 18th centuries.
		In the early 1900s the Conservation movement in America was split into two main groups: conservationists, like Pinchot, who were utilitarian foresters and natural rights advocates who wanted to protect forests "for the greater good for the greatest length," and preservationists, such as John Muir, the founder of the Sierra Club.

	Positions of conservation through birding. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Conservation Through Birding is the place to begin discussing the strategies for getting the inexperienced birding sectors to step forward from recognition to conservation and for getting the experienced birding sectors to apply their skill more constructively.
		Birding is also a pastime with a split personality: its historic roots embedded in the very birth of the American conservation movement in the early part of the 20th century, while many of its most-avid devotees currently regard conservation as a distraction to avian enjoyment.
		In response to this unsettling dichotomy (conservation vs. birding), a number of birders from around the country have attempted to resolve the situation in favor of an effective birding pastime and in favor of the birds themselves.

	The Nature Conservancy - The Road Ahead
		Conservation tools and science-based measures are required for an approach that looks beyond the borders of protected areas to the world as a whole.
		The Nature Conservancy's mission is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
		The Conservancy has enlisted a panel of independent, outside experts to develop a standard of best practices for governance in an innovative, highly decentralized global nonprofit organization.

	Conservation ethic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To conserve habitat in terrestrial ecoregions and stop deforestation is a goal widely shared by many groups with a wide variety of motivations.
		The principal value underlying most expressions of the conservation ethic is that the natural world has intrinsic and intangible worth along with utilitarian value — a view carried forward by the scientific ecology movement and some of the older Romantic schools of conservation.
		Gifford Pinchot, at the beginning of the 20th century, develops an ethics of resource conservation, which is based on a utilitarian philosophy encapsulated in his slogan "the greatest good for the greatest number for the longest time".

		This is a critical, transitional moment for the conservation movement requiring intention, self-awareness and the leadership to reframe and retool.
		This emerging leadership within the conservation movement understands that their work is indeed deeply affected by social and political issues, but there simply are not enough guideposts to help them work differently, in collaboration, toward higher goals.
		We will know we are succeeding when the annual reports of conservation groups speak of success as more than dollars and acres, when their stories go beyond how the project was done to begin to tell the story of why it was done and how the world is more fair and just as a result.

	Conservation's Third Movement: The Role for Fishermen and Farmers in Environmental Protection
		This movement differed from the preservation movement in that its focus was not on any particular area or species, but on the impact of such things as air and water pollution on whole ecosystems, either locally (Love Canal) or on a broad regional basis (acid rain).
		The third, and emerging, movement in conservation we are calling the "economic movement" (although "cultural," or "integrational" might also describe it).
		The economic movement is unlike the first two movements of conservation, which tend to be predicated around a particular issue or campaign, whether it be saving a place or critter, or prevention or clean-up of some insult to an ecosystem.

	New Conservationists
		It appears that the movement may be fragmenting into two distinctly different movements, one that focuses on preservation and central control and one that focuses on management and decentralization.
		A conservation movement that is experimenting with local collaborative management and new incentives aimed at encouraging people to protect the environment rather than forcing them to do so.
		Among the scientists and professionals who joined the environmental movement in the 1970s were members of the forestry profession, which had invented the wise-use philosophy of the conservation movement.

	Conservation Movement Big Plaers: John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, Aldo Leopold
		Three of the most influential people involved in the formation and perpetuation of the conservation movement were John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, and Aldo Leopold.
		As a driving force behind the perpetuation of the conservation movement at the time, Leopold helped to found the Wilderness Society and the Wildlife Society, and was active in many other conservation organizations (Slack 2004).
		This is not to say that these three men were solely responsible for the conservation movement but their influences combined created and perpetuated a way of thinking that all life should be grateful for.

	Women in the Conservation Movement, Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The American conservation movement, with its sense of public responsibility for the protection of America's natural resources and beauty, reflected the social consciousness of the Progressive Era.
		Women's conservation efforts sometimes drew on popular support for protection of wildlife, natural resources, and places of natural beauty, thereby offering a bridge between the male elite leaders of the conservation movement and a wider audience.
		It addresses the question of how the women's club movement encouraged and shaped women's involvement in the conservation movement as well as the influence of women's networks on the success of conservation campaigns between 1890 and 1930.

	Prof's Book Takes a New Look at Conservation : UVM The View
		His recently published book Reconstructing Conservation (Island Press), which he edited with Ben Minteer, a former UVM graduate student now at Arizona State University, is a collection of papers rethinking the theory and practice of conservation in the light of often harsh critiques.
		Many of the authors have UVM connections, as does the modern conservation movement itself — George Perkins Marsh, the 19th century lawyer and writer whose ideas are still important within the ecological conservation movement, left his library to the university.
		“People deciding on what constitutes conservation in their areas is good for the land, because when people decide on something together then they’ve really bought into it, but it’s good for people as well, because the process builds social capital by bringing people together,” Manning says.

	CONSERVATION BECOMES A GLOBAL SOCIAL MOVEMENT
		Conservation financiers are pitted against exploitive profiteers to vie directly for economic and social control of wildlife habitat.
		With the strategic focus of wildlife conservation shifted from gazetting biological arks to protecting all the major elements of natural creation from the human flood, a far different set of missions, goals and objectives will be pursued by a new kind of conservation professional.
		The social movement that has engulfed conservation is calling for international support by business and religion of regional and global change programmes that will maximize the salvation of humanity and nature.

	UW Press: The American Conservation Movement, John Muir and His Legacy, Stephen Fox
		Stephen Fox traces the conservation movement's diverse, colorful, and tumultuous history, from the successful campaign to establish Yosemite National Park in 1890 to the movement's present day concerns of nuclear waste and acid rain.
		Conservation has run a cyclical course, Fox contends, from its origins in the 1890's when it was the province of amateurs, to its takeover by professionals with quasi-scientific notions, and back, in the 1960's to its original impetus.
		"Historians of the conservation movement usually devote themselves to the battles between villains and heroes–between those who want to use nature for their own purposes and those who want to preserve it for itself.

		And, to the further dismay of the anti-regulationists, George Bush proved not to be as conservatively pure as Reagan (a flaw which in part prevented Bush from serving a second term).
		They are part of a "movement" primarily because they share an unwillingness or inability to grasp the wisdom of land use regulations intended to protect the larger community from the acts of irresponsible individuals.
		In fact, it might be said that those who claim to lead the movement have merely used one of the oldest tricks in the politicians' book -they found a parade and got in front of it.

	The Civil War Hero Who Started the Conservation Movement
		A chance meeting in a Montana stage stop led General Phil Sheridan to become a central figure in the 19th Century’s conservation movement--which, in turn, that led to the environmental movement a century later.
		He called for expanding its boundaries to include the entire habitat of the park’s big game, leading a movement for what was then called “Greater Yellowstone.” When Congress cut off all Yellowstone funding and was prepared to end its preservation, Sheridan sent in the cavalry.
		Conservation and federal control became one and the same for Progressive era reformers including TR Roosevelt.

	Conservation Movement: Conservation Chronology 1847-1871
		Prints, lithographs and engravings of American scenery, especially in the West, receive wide popular distribution between this decade and the turn of the century, stimulating broad interest in and appreciation for the special qualities of the American landscape, including its wilderness.
		In an early example of the growing public concern with fish conservation through fish culture, especially at the state level, George Perkins Marsh publishes a Report, Made under Authority of the Legislature of Vermont, on the Artificial Propagation of Fish, in which he also explores the effects of deforestation, agriculture, and industry on fish populations.
		Parallelling the increasing number of state-level measures for conserving supplies of fish and game throughout the nation, Congress passes "An Act to prevent the Extermination of Fur-Bearing Animals in Alaska," the first of numerous Congressional and Presidential efforts in the coming decades to protect the economically valuable Pacific fur seals by regulating their hunting.
