  • Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes Within a Transboundary Complex: the Crown of the Continent
    Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes within a Transboundary Complex: The Crown of the Continent A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning In the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Keysha Fontaine B.S. University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013 Committee Chair: Craig M. Vogel, MID Committee Advisor: Danilo Palazzo, Ph.D, M.Arch ABSTRACT Protected areas are critical elements in restoring historical wildlife migration routes, as well as, maintaining historical cultural practices and traditions. The designations created for protected areas represent a cultural and/or natural aspect of the land. However, designations for the protection of these resources fail to include measures to take into account the ecological processes needed to sustain them. Ecological processes are vital elements in sustaining cultural resources, because most cultural resources are the derivatives of the interactions with natural resources. In order to sustain natural resources, especially wildlife, the processes of fluctuating habitat change and migration are pivotal in maintaining genetic diversity to maintain healthy populations with the fittest surviving. The survival of the fittest species allow populations to have greater adaptability in the face of climate change. Currently in the Crown of the Continent (COC), several non-profit organizations are collaborating under an umbrella initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative, to restore historical migration routes. The collaborators of this initiative performed ecological planning of the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region to identify impediments that may hinder wildlife movements.

    United States Department of the Interior IJ:::.~ ~ .. BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT "\ TAKE PRIDE" Alaska State Office INAMERICA 222 W. 7th Avenue, # 13 Anchorage, Alaska 99513-7599 http://www.ak.blm.gov To: File AA-085787 (1864) From: Navigable Waters Specialist Subject: Navigability ofStikine River, Southeast Alaska On February 17, 2005, the State of Alaska (State) filed an application for a recordable disclaimer of interest for the bed of the Stikine River from its mouth to the United States-Canada International Boundary, a distance of approximately 27 miles. The State also applied for lands underlying "all named interconnecting sloughs including Binkleys Slough, Red Slough, Guerin Slough, King Slough, Andrew Slough, Hooligan Slough, Shakes Slough, Shakes Lake, North Arm, and Ketili River, between the ordinary high water lines of the left and right banks .... " The State included with its application a legal description of the river, supporting evidence, and a map dated April 5, 2004 showing the Stikine River.l The State's submissions are more fully described in Attachment A. On June 4, 2007, the State submitted additional information in support of its application for the bed ofthe Stikine River. In this letter, the State asserted that the Tongass National Forest did not include the beds of navigable waters within the exterior boundaries of the reserve and, therefore, did not defeat the State's title to the bed ofthe navigable Stikine River.2 As the State's evidence shows, the Stikine River has been used almost continuously as a highway of commerce since before the Purchase of Alaska in 1867. Both Great Britain and the United States recognized the river's importance as a highway in the Washington Treaty of May 8, 1871.

By using this powerful, trusted mobile app and website to document observations of plants, animals and other organisms, British Columbians and park visitors can contribute to the understanding of life found in B.C.’s parks and protected areas. The BC Parks iNaturalist Project is a collaboration between: What is ? iNaturalist is a mobile phone app and website used around the world to crowdsource observations of plants, animals and other organisms. Users upload photos of observations and iNaturalist’s image recognition software suggests the identity of the organism. A community of keen citizen scientists called “identifiers” then confirm the 2 identity of documented species, helping correct any errors and verify observations to make them research grade. Why is citizen science important? Your observations through the BC Parks iNaturalist Project create an interactive record of your own explorations in B.C.’s parks and protected areas, while helping improve the understanding of the species that live in or travel through our province. You may come across rare species, species at risk and species that aren’t well-studied. Your observations may help track population and distribution changes over time as a result of factors such as climate change. It’s free.
