    New film chronicles environmental ‘outlawʼ Ken Sleightʼs fight to restore Glen Canyon 1/11/21, 5'22 PM New film chronicles environmental ‘outlawʼ Ken Sleightʼs fight to restore Glen Canyon “The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight” will be screened for free online Tuesday. (Courtesy of the Ken Sleight Collection) Ken Sleight and Tim DeChristopher met while DeChristopher was being tried for protesting oil leases near Arches National Park in 2010. San Juan County • When river runner, wilderness guide and legendary environmental provocateur Ken Sleight tells his life story, he likes to start at https://www.sltrib.com/news/2021/01/10/new-film-chronicles/ Page 1 of 6 New film chronicles environmental ‘outlawʼ Ken Sleightʼs fight to restore Glen Canyon 1/11/21, 5'22 PM the beginning. “Iʼm a farm boy from Paris,” he often says. “Paris, Idaho.” Sleight grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but when he uses words like “temples,” “paradise” or “heaven” now, at the age of 91, it refers to an earthly fold of the Colorado Plateau, a place he first visited in 1955, named Glen Canyon. As one of the few commercial outfitters to guide rafts through Glen Canyon prior to its submersion under Lake Powell in the 1960s, Sleight remains haunted by the lost beauty of a place that few non-native Americans experienced as a flowing river. “I donʼt understand human thinking — to destroy temples, cathedrals,” Sleight says in the opening sequence of a new film by Sageland Media, “The Unfinished Fight of Seldom Seen Sleight.” “Would they flood the Sistine Chapel, flood the Mormon temple?” he continues.

  • Federal Trial for Activist BLM “Wrencher” Begins
    Federal Trial for Activist BLM “Wrencher” Begins SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH: Today marks the opening day of the trial of “monkey- wrencher” climate activist Tim DeChristopher. In December of 2008, DeChristopher shut down a controversial BLM auction that offered thousands of acres of public lands adjacent to Utah national parks and residential areas for purchase by oil and gas companies. When apprehended by federal agents DeChristopher told authorities he disrupted the auction purposefully, citing a moral imperative to halt the conversion of Utah’s pristine and protected wilderness areas into fossil fuel extraction sites, without regard to environmental harm or contributions to climate change. The auction was overruled by incoming secretary Ken Salazar, who determined that the BLM had failed to complete procedural prerequisites with regard to the effect on ambient air and environmental quality of the national treasures adjacent to the leased lands. The legality of the auction itself, however, has since been dismissed as irrelevant and potentially distracting by federal judge Dee Benson; Benson also rejected DeChristopher’s proposed “necessity defense,” which would have taken into account the BLM auction’s threat to Utah’s public natural resources and contributions to climate change, and weighed DeChristopher’s crime as a “less of two evils.” The controversy of the illegitimate auction and the moral imperative that motivated DeChristopher will be absent from the courtroom. DeChristopher’s supporters have traveled from across the nation and include actress Daryl Hannah, writer Terry Tempest Williams, and songwriter and activist Peter Yarrow. Aided by DeChristopher’s nonprofit organization, Peaceful Uprising, his supporters intend to attempt to convey widespread approval of his actions and the controversial facts of the auction that have been banned from the courtroom via peaceful demonstrations on the courthouse lawn.

It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, specifically around Mount Gede, Mount Pangaro and south of Sukabumi. The Bleeding Toad’s scientific name, cruentata, is from the Latin word meaning “bleeding” because of the frog’s overall reddish-purple appearance and blood-red and yellow marbling on its back. Geographical range The population declined drastically after the eruption of Mount Galunggung in 1987. It is Knowledge believed that other declining factors may be habitat alteration, loss, and fragmentation. Experts Although the lethal chytrid fungus, responsible for devastating declines (and possible Get Involved extinctions) in amphibian populations globally, has not been recorded in this area, the sudden decline in a creekside population is reminiscent of declines in similar amphibian species due to the presence of this pathogen. Only one individual Bleeding Toad was sighted from 1990 to 2003. Part of the range of Bleeding Toad is located in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. Future conservation actions should include population surveys and possible captive breeding plans.

  • Socio-Economic Status: a Determinant of Perceptions and Responses to Bullying
    Socio-Economic Status: A Determinant of Perceptions and Responses to Bullying A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Education, Criminal Justice and Social Work by Kelli M. Jette M.Ed. Xavier University June 2007 Committee Chair: Marvin Berlowitz, Ph.D Dissertation Bullying ii Abstract Bullying has been examined by a variety of international professionals, all intent upon stopping this unmanageable problem in the school setting. Many experts have designed and implemented strategic whole-group, anti-bullying campaigns that are purchased by school administrators in the attempt that bullying will be thwarted by a one-size-fits-all “fix” of the pervasive and troublesome behaviors. Bullying continues to impede the efforts of school officials, regardless of the program by which they are educating students. The reason? There are no anti-bullying campaigns that adequately address the dynamics of class, race, and gender. These factors act as a catalyst for different manifestations in the definition of bullying, the perceptions of bullying, and the reactions of teachers and staff towards bullying situations. These factors also account for the differences in behavioral manifestations among students. Race, class, and gender are major determinants of “how” and “why” and “what” perpetrators and victims experience when faced with a bullying incident. Therefore, it is necessary to understand these complex dynamics

  • Co-Management of Protected Areas: a Governance System Analysis of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland
    land Article Co-Management of Protected Areas: A Governance System Analysis of Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland Jon Geir Petursson 1,* and Dadi Mar Kristofersson 2 1 Environment and Natural Resources, Faculties of Life and Environmental Sciences, and Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics, University of Iceland, 102 Reykjavik, Iceland 2 Faculty of Economics, University of Iceland, 102 Reykjavik, Iceland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Land allocated to protected areas (PA) is expanding as are expectations about the services these areas deliver. There is a need to advance knowledge on PA governance systems, like co- management, recognising that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. We analyse the co-management governance system and performance of Vatnajökull National Park (VNP), Iceland. We adapt an analytical framework from the literature on environmental governance and analyse its governance system, hence actor roles, institutional arrangements and interactions. Our findings illustrate that the co-management structure was an outcome of political negotiations and a response to the lack of legitimacy of its predecessors; resulting in a tailor-made governance system set out in park- specific legislation. Although the performance is quite positive, being adaptive to changes, inclusive, promoting rural development and an appreciated facilitator of devolution and power-sharing, it has come with challenges. It has encountered problems delineating responsibilities among its actors, Citation: Petursson, J.G.; causing conflict and confusion; in settling conflicting localised issues close to local stakeholders, Kristofersson, D.M. Co-Management there have been capacity issues. We argue that the VNP co-management system is fit for its purpose, of Protected Areas: A Governance aligned with Icelandic land-use governance structures but in need of systematic improvements.
