From an international perspective, I will discuss how a preliminary migratory bird research project may broaden our perspective of how vastly distant and different habitats are important to species. From a regional perspective, air quality issues can not only protect park habitats but I will illustrate how other industries are attempting to contribute to solutions. On a landscape scale, Rocky Mountain National Park's elk and vegetation management plan is an example of implementing habitat restoration and being a springboard for multi-agency collaboration of habitat use, wildlife disease study, and management of elk that is important to local economies.27 minutes 45 secondsborn digitalmotion pictures (visual works)digital moving image formatsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
