Foundation Document El Malpais National Monument Mission of the National Park Service The National Park Service (NPS) preserves unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. The National Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor recreation throughout this country and the world. The NPS core values are a framework in which the National Park Service accomplishes its mission. They express the manner in which, both individually and collectively, the National Park Service pursues its mission. The NPS core values are: · Shared stewardship: We share a commitment to resource stewardship with the global preservation community. · Excellence: We strive continually to learn and improve so that we may achieve the highest ideals of public service. · Integrity: We deal honestly and fairly with the public and one another. · Tradition: We are proud of it; we learn from it; we are not bound by it. · Respect: We embrace each other’s differences so that we may enrich the well-being of everyone. The National Park Service is a bureau within the Department of the Interior. While numerous national park system units were created prior to 1916, it was not until August 25, 1916, that President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Park Service Organic Act formally establishing the National Park Service. The national park system continues to grow and comprises 401 park units covering more than 84 million acres in every state, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These units include, but are not limited to, national parks, monuments, battlefields, military parks, historical parks, historic sites, lakeshores, seashores, recreation areas, scenic rivers and trails, and the White House. The variety and diversity of park units throughout the nation require a strong commitment to resource stewardship and management to ensure both the protection and enjoyment of these resources for future generations. The arrowhead was authorized as the official National Park Service emblem by the Secretary of the Interior on July 20, 1951. The sequoia tree and bison represent vegetation and wildlife, the mountains and water represent scenic and recreational values, and the arrowhead represents historical and archeological values. 1 Foundation Document Introduction Every unit of the national park system will have a foundational document to provide basic guidance for planning and management decisions—a foundation for planning and management. The core components of a foundation document include a brief description of the park as well as the park’s purpose, significance, fundamental resources and values, other important resources and values, and interpretive themes. The foundation document also includes special mandates and administrative commitments, an assessment of planning and data needs that identifies planning issues, planning products to be developed, and the associated studies and data required for park planning. Along with the core components, the assessment provides a focus for park planning activities and establishes a baseline from which planning documents are developed. A primary benefit of developing a foundation document is the opportunity to integrate and coordinate all kinds and levels of planning from a single, shared understanding of what is most important about the park. The process of developing a foundation document begins with gathering and integrating information about the park. Next, this information is refined and focused to determine what the most important attributes of the park are. The process of preparing a foundation document aids park managers, staff, and the public in identifying and clearly stating in one document the essential information that is necessary for park management to consider when determining future planning efforts, outlining key planning issues, and protecting resources and values that are integral to park purpose and identity. While not included in this document, a park atlas is also part of a foundation project. The atlas is a series of maps compiled from available geographic information system (GIS) data on natural and cultural resources, visitor use patterns, facilities, and other topics. It serves as a GIS-based support tool for planning and park operations. The atlas is published as a (hard copy) paper product and as geospatial data for use in a web mapping environment.

  • Can We Save the Wolf?

    Can We Save the Wolf?

    www.nmwild.org By Stephen Capra It was 1998. After two decades of planning, environmental assessment, threats of litigation, and sometimes ran- corous public debate, something special was happening. Mexican wolves were once again free in the wilds of the Blue Range of Arizona and poised to return to the Gila country of New Mexico. It was a hopeful moment for the most imper- iled subspecies of gray wolf in North America—the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi.) Much like recovery efforts in the northern Rocky Mountains, where wolves had been released into Yellow- stone National Park and central Idaho, TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES: CAN WE SAVE THE WOLF? it seemed we had learned in the South- west to share our lands with native wild- life. Working with ranchers and rural communities, conservationists sensed a new respect for nature and a desire for ecological balance taking root after generations of abuse and slaughter. But unlike Yellowstone’s success, the fate of the Mexican lobo is far from certain. The story of Canis lupus baileyi is a complex and mostly frustrating tale of good intentions, an old West mentality, politics, and unsatisfactory results. Origi- nally, the Mexican wolf ranged from central Mexico to today’s U.S. Interstate 10 in Arizona and New Mexico. It was exterminated from the southwestern United States by the U.S. Bureau of Biological Survey. In 1950, the Bureau’s successor agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, launched a program in Mexico that eliminated almost all of its wolves by the mid-1970s. Such see CAN WE SAVE , pg.

AMERICAN INDIAN SACRED SITES ON FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS: RESOLVING CONFLICTS BETWEEN RELIGIOUS USE AND MULTIPLE USE AT EL MALPAIS NATIONAL MONUMENT Ann M. Hooker* L Background A. Introduction American Indians are beginning to reassert their right to freely express their religious beliefs despite past European American attempts to suppress them.' However, misunderstandings and conflicts persist in part because of basic differences between American Indian and European American religious beliefs. These differences become apparent especially when sacred mountains, lakes, forest groves, caves and other natural sites located on federal land are threatened with development for mining, flood control, recreation, logging, and other intensive activities and Native Americans attempt to protect them for religious purposes.
