Show To manage, perpetuate and restore wilderness for public use and enjoyment, as specified in the national habitat preservation goals, seems contradictory. On the one hand, wildlife and wilderness is the main objective and then it switches to the public use and enjoyment. Wilderness and public use are incompatible and to maintain wilderness there must be very thoughtful and strict regulations regarding public use. MIGRATORY BIRD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES National goals for migratory birds do not apply to the CMR. Build more reservoirs and ponds for migratory waterfowl. Adopt national migratory bird goals to the CMR. Migratory birds should be managed primarily for production, rather than sport hunt ing. Compensate ranchers outside the CMR when they feed migratory birds. Manage mud flats caused by flooding and draw-down of the reservoir, by early seeding of shorelines and similar methods to optimize nesting and waterfowl habitat. Closely monitor predation in managing migratory birds. Control illegal hunting. Intense manipulation and development to artificially create habitat for wildlife should be carefully checked for economic worth, impact on other national species, and other uses. Don't restrict uses of areas not adaptable to migratory birds. Concerning national goals for migratory birds, the catchy phrase "beneficial to society" is used, Unfortunately society doesn't know what's good or bad for it, so why don't you just leave that useless term out, MAMMAL AND NON-MIGRATORY BIRD GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Do not allow any buffalo, grizzlies, mountain lion, bear, or wolves on the refuge. Adopt national goals for mammals and non-migratory birds to the CMR. Do not restore all native wildlife species which were historically, but are not presently, found on the CMR. Do not place special management emphasis on producing a harvestable surplus of resident game species in order to establish a game farm. Control prairie dogs in order to restore natural nesting grounds for prairie chickens. -7- |
