Synopsis

Excerpt from U. S. Prairie Pothole Joint Venture Implementation Plan: A Component of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, April, 1989

The decade of the nineties and the year 2000 are rapidly approaching. Current trends seem to indicate that concern for the state of the environment and the need for positive action will be of high priority as we approach the turn of the century. Within the last year, for instance two major reports have received wide distribution: Protecting America s Wetlands: An Action Agenda (the Final Report of the National Wetlands Policy Forum-1988) and Blueprint For The Environment (november l988). Both reports reflect a common concern for degradation of the environment in the last half century, and both call for new cooperative initiatives to address the situation.

Wildlife species are often considered barometers of environmental health and it comes as no surprise, perhaps, that a drastic decline in waterfowl and other migratory bird populations has been noted in recent years. Destruction of habitat, including both wetlands and forests throughout the Western Hemisphere is partially responsible. The need for overall environmental conservation and wetland protection in particular, is recognized by governments and private conservation organizations on a global basis.
