PART 1
View the “Bridger Teton Environmental Science” video (see chapter 2 of textbook-Environmental Science Video) located on the student website. Answer the following questions.
What is preservation? According to Berg, L. R., Hager, M. C., & Hassenzahl, D. M. (2011), preservation “is concerned with setting aside undisturbed areas, maintaining them in pristine state, and protecting them from human activities that might alter their “natural” state.”
What is conservation? According to Berg, L. R., Hager, M. C., & Hassenzahl, D. M. (2011), “is the sensible and careful management of natural resources”.
How might mining in Bridger Teton affect plants and animals living in the area? Make sure to provide specifics from the video.
If they decide to mine in Bridger Teton it will affect the plants and wildlife in a negative way. The area has a “wild and free ranging bison heard” that is increasing. “New development will fragment or rare intact ecosystem and block critical wildlife migration routes”. Bridger Teton Environmental Science”
Would adding a wildlife view area to this area be an act of conservation or preservation? Why? It will be an act of preservation because it will protect the area from “human activities” that will alter the ecosystem, and natural state of the area. Berg, L. R., Hager, M. C., & Hassenzahl, D. M. (2011). If they decided to go through with the mining, and pipeline projects, the ecosystem will be alter and the wildlife will be affected by it, making it difficult for it to survive these changes.
