I won't answer your question directly, since it's YOUR homework.  However, one thing that I will tell you is that wildlife needs food in its habitat.  So, if you can think of a forest management practice that increases the availability of food for an animal, you have found a way to improve the habitat for that animal.  I hope that helps you.

I would be a timber wolf. roaming the forest with my wolf brethren sounds like fun plus the only thing to worry about would be bears and mountain lions which would be easily overcome by me and my fellow pack members.

here is a link to a site that has lots of info on what's being done.  the link is to a page where you can download in french/english the recovery strategy to help save the marmots.  there are also other links in the left-hand bar about what you can do to help save them, who is helping to save the marmots, and some info about them

Yes the forests are disappearing but little is being done to address this issue. Lumber companies in all provinces are supposed to put money into reforestation and the companies are falling short. Government talks a big talk but over the last 25 years have cut funding drastically in this area.Trees do more than help clean the air. They support wildlife and prevent soil erosion and so on. Species  of wildlife will be extinct if something is not done and fast. Where is the governments new environment act..........Oh yeah, that was a lie too. If we all planted one tree a year it would be like a hug to the earth.

I'm pretty big on species protection, but that being said, I don't really have a problem with the regional lifting of protected status. The ultimate goal of listing a species as threatened or endangered is to protect and manage the population so that it can recover to a point where it is viable enough to be de-listed. No?  Grizzlies are also a species that have political significance, because they are big, potentially dangerous, require large territories, and will wander into residential areas and/or begin to kill livestock if their population gets too large. Around Yellowstone this is beginning to happen, and people are starting to get angry. In order to keep the public from becoming anti-grizzly to a point where it affects the recovery effort elsewhere, grizzlies are going to have to be carefully controlled in areas where the population is healthy. However unfortunate for individual bears, population control is a necessary evil.  As for the comment about poaching: Poaching is illegal whether the bears are protected or not, and people who are going to poach bears will do it regardless of whether the bears are protected.

The department of natural resources is in charge of managing all the natural wilderness in the united states. this includes places like Yellowstone, and The Grand Canyon.   Any national Park really. Any park ranger would probably work in that department.  natural reserves like oil, coal, timber, things that can be distributed are managed by this department. All the animals, forests, ATV trails, anything outside basically.

I love the responses on this question, especially the one that says "leave it alone, you're not going to eat it anyway".  That's funny.  Bear meat is great.\n\nThe safest way, that I know of, to hunt bear is from a tree stand.  While there are SOME bears that can climb trees, this is still the safest way.  Ensure that the stand is over 2 meters from the ground, sit and wait.  Of course, it helps if you set up in a known bear area.

Environmentalists of the past would go into forest that were being cut down, and they would chain themselves into a "hugging" position around a tree. The idea was that the logging companies couldn't cut that tree down, because doing so would be Manslaughter. So if you got enough people to "hug trees" in strategic places, you could save most of a forest from being chopped down. Hence the term "Tree Hugger"

The best thing is to avoid the bears in the first place.  Check with the ranger station, wardens, park staff etc before setting off - they'll advise on possible danger areas.\n\nWhen you're on the move or camped up keep a watch for bears and signs of acivity in the area.\n\nIf you do see one but it's not seen you then back away slowly and quietly then walk round giving it a wide berth.\n\nIf you see one and it's also seen you then again, back away and avoid making eye contact with it.\n\nYou can't outrun, climb or swim a bear so if one starts chasing after you there's little chance of escape unless you can get inside a vehicle, building or small crevice where it can't reach you/\n\nPepper spray is likely to enrage a bear even more, a bell is likely to attract attention to you.  Food is a possibility but in realistic terms unless you're carrying a carcass around with you it's not going to distract the bear for long - it may buy you a bit of time.\n\nIf you are in close proximity to a bear then don't do anything to startle or anger it, don't threaten it in any way, back off slowly.\n\nIf a bear is charging you can throw your backpack to the ground - it may take an interets in this giving you some time to get away and you'll be able to run faster without it.\n\nIf a bear is right upon you about the only thing you can do is to try to frighten it - spread your arms wide and rush toward the bear making as much noise as possible.  This is the point to use your pepper spray - it can't do any harm and those few moments i gains you could be enough the get away.\n\nOne of the main things that attracts bears is smell, especially of food.  Any food that you carry should be well wrapped up and ideally dried - if you're going hiking for any diostance chances are you'll be carrying predominantly dried food anyway.\n\nWhen you pitch camp hang you food from the branch of a tree a good distance from your campground - at least half a mile away, ideally more.  Wash food remains out of pots and pans.\n\nThere's loads more stuff - this is just for starters to give you something to go on.  As I said at the begining tho - seek local guidance, these people are the ones with on the spot knowledge.

Here are some comments I found ...\n\nThe Alaskan wilderness is a lonely place for Mark Andersen, especially after the death of his older brother, Jamie. But in time Mark finds someone else to love--Ben, an Alaskan brown bear so huge that no one else dares come near him.  \n\nIf you like exciting books about bears--here it is.  This amazing book features a bear named Gentle Ben and a boy who makes friends with the bear. The problem is that they're going to kill the bear because no one wants to buy him, and the the kid wants the bear. The parents don't want it, so they are going to kill it. Can the boy save it?  There is a happy ending as Mark returns Ben to the wilderness where he can lead his life among his own kind.\n\nMark finds solace from his grief when he finds and befriends a bear.\n\nGentle Ben has been a favorite of readers of all ages for 25 years, and is a timeless story of a rare friendship. \n\nThe first website I've attached is a review written by an 8 year old.\n\nI hope this helps.

Try this you may be able to sift through all the information and decide on where students may be able to help:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaster_management\nThere are many related external-links at the bottom also.\n\nGiven all the natural and man-made tragedies in the world, it sounds like a great project

Read:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_parks\nhttp://www.nationalgeographic.com/refuges/\nhttp://www.nps.gov/\n\nI'm not going to do your homework for you, but I will give you something to think about: one issue that faces national parks is access vs. preservation.  While the park service wants as many people as possible to see the parks, people tend to cause erosion, pollution, littering and other forms of damage.  How should we balance these conflicting goals?

lumber is very lucrative.  if you have good forestation, consider contacting a lumber yard for harvesting some of the wood.  they do all the work, and you get the check.  get a couple offers and make sure to mark off what trees can go, and which will stay.

let's see, cutting down canada's ancient boreal forests by kimberly-clark so they can make KLEENEX, disgraceful.\ncutting down forests to expand factory farming only so that the animals can be slaughtered. horrifying.  by far it is human selfishness and lack of education that is destroying our world.
