  • Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw Fact Sheet
    Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw Fact Sheet Article 29, the Town of Amherst Sanctuary Community Bylaw, will protect the civil rights of all Amherst residents by making sure our town police and other employees and our tax dollars are not used to help deport immigrant families or create a Muslim registry. KEY FEATURES OF ARTICLE 29 THE AMHERST SANCTUARY COMMUNITY BYLAW Ø Prohibits town support for any Muslim registry The bylaw prohibits any town employee from cooperating with or enforcing any federal program requiring registration of individuals based on national origin, religion or other protected characteristics. Ø Ensures that police resources are used to fight crime, not separate families The bylaw ensures that Amherst police don’t participate in federal immigration enforcement activities, including participation in inquiries, investigations, raids, arrests or detentions that are based solely on immigration status. When police become ICE agents, immigrant victims and witnesses of crime are afraid to call police, which makes us all less safe. Ø Prohibits use of local funds for collaboration agreements with federal agents The bylaw prohibits collaboration agreements between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and local law enforcement that deputize local officers as immigration agents, like those in place in Bristol and Plymouth Counties. The bylaw will ensure that our tax dollars are spent on making our community safe, not on expanding the deportation machine. Ø Protects our town from potential lawsuits The bylaw clearly states that the Town of Amherst will not comply with ICE detainer requests or holds. These requests are not warrants and are not reviewed by a court or judicial officer.

  • EAZA Bushmeat Campaign
    B USHMEAT | R AINFOREST | T IGER | S HELLSHOCK | R HINO | M ADAGASCAR | A MPHIBIAN | C ARNIVORE | A PE EAZA Conservation Campaigns EAZA Bushmeat Over the last ten years Europe’s leading zoos and aquariums have worked together in addressing a variety of issues affecting a range of species and Campaign habitats. EAZA’s annual conservation campaigns have raised funds and promoted awareness amongst 2000-2001 millions of zoo visitors each year, as well as providing the impetus for key regulatory change. | INTRODUCTION | The first of EAZA's annual conservation campaigns addressed the issue of the unsustainable and illegal hunting and trade of threatened wildlife, in particular the great apes. Bushmeat is a term commonly used to describe the hunting and trade of wild meat. For the Bushmeat Campaign EAZA collaborated with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) as an official partner in order to enhance the chances of a successful campaign. The Bushmeat Campaign can be regarded as the ‘template campaign’ for the EAZA conservation campaigns that followed over the subsequent ten years. | CAMPAIGN AIMS | Through launching the Bushmeat Campaign EAZA hoped to make a meaningful contribution to the conservation of great apes in the wild, particularly in Africa, over the next 20 to 50 years. The bushmeat trade was (and still is) a serious threat to the survival of apes in the wild. Habitat loss and deforestation have historically been the major causal factors for declining populations of great apes, but experts now agree that the illegal commercial bushmeat trade has surpassed habitat loss as the primary threat to ape populations.

  • Responsible Human Use of Wildlife
    Standing Position Responsible Human Use of Wildlife Because humans are part of a functioning environment, we ultimately and legitimately derive our livelihood, and many of our cultural values, from the resource base. Human societies have recognized and accepted the use of wildlife resources for food, clothing, shelter, hunting, fishing, trapping, viewing, recreation, and as an indicator of environmental quality. All humans and human societies use wildlife directly and/or indirectly, because wildlife generates tangible goods and income and contributes to the economic and spiritual well-being of society. However, human use of natural resources, including wildlife, must be carried out in a responsible manner so that ecological processes can continue to function and sustain a diverse, healthy environment. This, in turn, will result in the continued well-being of both humans and wildlife. Human activities are a major factor in ecosystem disruption worldwide. Human population growth and technological development result in dramatic reductions and alterations in quality and availability of wildlife habitat, over-use of some wildlife species, greater human dependence on domesticated animals, and changes in the functioning of most ecosystems. Abuse of the land and water resources exacerbates the decline of natural resources and deterioration of the ecosystem’s abilities to support wildlife and human populations. Maintenance, restoration, and enhancement of wildlife populations and habitat characteristics through scientific management and regulations are vital to ecological functioning, genetic diversity, and perpetuation of wildlife populations, species, and habitats. Conservation-minded citizens and resource management professionals can successfully slow or reverse the decline of wildlife species and destruction of habitats. Prudent management practices and regulations, supported by a conservation-minded public, are essential for restoration of wildlife species, populations, and habitat productivity.

    About the Wilderness Problem-Specific Guide Series These guides summarize knowledge about how wildlife authorities can reduce the harm caused by specific wildlife crime problems. They are guides to preventing and improving the overall response to incidents, not to investigating offenses or handling specific incidents; neither do they cover technical details about how to implement specific responses. Who is this bushmeat guide for? This guide is aimed at wildlife officers and non-governmental conservation practitioners who have identified the illegal and unsustainable hunting of wildlife for bushmeat, as an important threat in a specific site or landscape. These include: ñ Protected Area Managers and their deputies ñ Conservation NGO Project Leads ñ Wildlife officers and NGO conservation practitioners of whatever rank or assignment, who have been tasked to address the problem These guides will be most useful to problem solvers who: Understand basic problem-oriented policing principles and methods.
