I read the article, “Pentagon Making Room for Wildlife at Military Bases“, today in The New York Times.
The article points out that as residential development encroaches upon military bases, the Pentagon finds itself in the precarious position of managing habitat and preserving wildlife.
“The military has a tremendous interest in keeping candidate species off the list and helping endangered species recover and get taken off the list,” said Bob Barnes, the nonprofit Nature Conservancy’s DOD (Department of Defense) liaison. The presence of listed species, he said, restricts what the military can do on its land.
It sounds like a beneficial program for natural areas and wildlife.
