At the same time, corporations are becoming more likely to cooperate with conservation groups because of increasingly tough environmental and biodiversity standards in their host and home countries. USINFO talks with some participants in these public- ...

In an effort to enhance the protection and restoration of endangered species in Massachusetts, the executive office of Energy and Environmental Affairs and The Nature Conservancy announced a new program to create a system of protected areas for the Commonwealth’s most vulnerable species. Under an agreement between the Commonwealth and The Nature Conservancy’s Massachusetts chapter, payments from developers whose projects impact rare species habitat will be used to permanently preserve larger, contiguous areas of quality habitat – an approach that scientists agree provides more value than project-by-project environmental mitigation. The Nature Conservancy was selected to partner with the Commonwealth on this project through a competitive bidding process. “Our Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program has a keen understanding of the impacts various projects and activities are apt to have on specific state-listed endangered species, and can identify the species and habitats most frequently in need of conservation,” EEA secretary Ian Bowles said. “This new program will ensure that environmental mitigation funds required by Natural Heritage are put to the best possible use.” Under the new program, scientists from both the Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Fisheries and Wildlife and The Nature Conservancy will first identify state-listed species that are appropriate for this “protected areas” approach. Once these species ...
