• Purchasing  conservation pools in lakes and reservoirs cost money, as does  ensuring in-stream flows, buying winter deer, elk and moose  habitat, enforcing wildlife laws, educating the public about  nature and wildlife, purchasing wetlands, and protecting  threatened and endangered species. ...
• Who pays for these programs, and a lot more? It ain't the  Sierra Club, that's for sure. ...
• If the Sierra Club and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance  really want to do something productive, they should figure out  how to assess their members and like-minded non-consumptive  users a fee to really contribute to the environment. ...
• Environmentalists are leeching off the people who really  count in the conservation battle--the men and women who carry  the freight, who make conservation possible. The dirty little  secret is that a variety of efforts have been made to give  non-consumptive users opportunities to buy conservation stamps  or otherwise contribute to good conservation, but the amount of  money raised has been miniscule. ...

Their objectives at Ivoloina are to stimulate regional awareness and enthusiasm for conservation and to expand in-country captive breeding efforts for lemurs and other endangered Malagasy fauna. Working closely with the Ivoloina staff, Andrea and Charlie developed a master plan for a regional conservation center and zoo with programs for the captive breeding of endangered species native to the eastern rainforest region; conservation education for zoo visitors, local teachers, and schoolchildren; training of Malagasy staff in zoo animal husbandry and management; and research to lead to sound reintroduction and restocking projects for captive-bred and confiscated lemurs. With the building of a new Education Center and other support from MFG members, Ivoloina has become a nationally recognized center for environmental education. The Education Center has developed conservation education programs to benefit both teachers and schoolchildren. In such programs, teachers learn how to incorporate the environment and conservation into their lessons.

• Sierra Tarahumara Diversity Project .
• The first planning meeting of the Sierra Tarahumara Diversity Project (STDP) was held in Chihuahua City, Mexico, on June 15-18, 2000. ...
• The purpose of the meeting was to explore the possibility of establishing a collaborative research project among residents of the Sierra Tarahumara and scholars from Mexico and the United States to document, analyze, and conserve the biological, cultural, and linguistic diversity of the Sierra Tarahumara region of southwestern Chihuahua.   The meeting grew out of a series of preliminary contacts, beginning in 1998, between Sierra Tarahumara residents and scholars that revealed a shared concern for the rapid deterioration in environmental conditions in the Sierra, the erosion of traditional ecological knowledge and other cultural traditions, and the decline in the use and transmission of Indigenous languages. ...
• The core participants included twenty residents of the Sierra Tarahumara and twenty-two scholars affiliated with institutions and organizations in Mexico and the United States. ...
• The Sierra Tarahumara participants came from communities located in the Eastern Rarámuri area of Norogachi (Municipio de Guachochi), the Western Rarámuri area of San Rafael de Oruibo (Municipo de Chínipas), and the Ódami (Northern Tepehuan) area of Baborigame (Municipio de Guadalupe y Calvo).   The delegation from the Norogachi area included principal Indigenous authorities (siríame; Spanish: gobernadores) from the communities of Choguita, Ciénega de Norogachi, Norogachi, Pahuichiqui, and Tatahuichi as well as the president of the ejido of Norogachi, the deputy president of the Norogachi municipal district (suplente de la presidencia seccional de Norogachi), and the director of the Guachochi office of the State Coordinating Center for the Tarahumara (Coordinación Estatal de la Tarahumara). ... The other Sierra participants were individuals concerned by the current threats to the biological, cultural, and linguistic diversity in the region. ...
• Professional scholars and students who participated in the meeting included specialists in anthropology, botany, conservation, ecology, environmental policy, linguistics, history, psychology, and zoology affiliated with ten Mexican and ten United States institutions or organizations. ...
•   On June 16-17, Sierra Tarahumara residents presented information on the current situation in the Sierra Tarahumara and their concerns while scholars from various disciplines explained the methodologies and goals of their research activities. ... Inter-cultural and inter-disciplinary exchanges also took place during meeting breaks, meals, and several, more formal events, including a welcome cocktail and reception on the evening of June 15 (for full details, see the attached meeting schedule); the inauguration of an exhibit of of late nineteenth century photographs of the Sierra Tarahumara and its residents by the Norwegian explorer Carl Lumholtz in the evening of June 17; and, in the late afternoon and evening of June 18, a tour of Chihuahua City and a concluding cook-out and maize beer drinking party. ...
• He stressed that no project had been developed up to that point, and that project planning would begin only if Sierra residents were convinced that whatever project might emerge would be of interest and benefit to their communities and if they would be willing to participate in all aspects of the project from the outset. ...
• Robert Bye (Botanical Garden, UNAM) spoke about botany, explaining how botanists do their research both in the field and in the laboratory, and describing in particular his work in the Sierra Tarahumara, which also includes the documentation of Indigenous botanical knowledge. He gave examples of his own research on Sierra Tarahumara medicinal and food plants and of related benefits provided to local communities, including the preparation of books on Rarámuri plant knowledge, environmental education programs for children that incorporate local environmental knowledge, environmental restoration, and health and sustainable development projects. Bye also mentioned a pending project to create an herbarium and botanical garden in the Sierra that would promote research on the Sierra’s flora, collaboration between scientists and community members, the integration of formal and informal environmental education, and the formation of a central database of relevant information available to local community members and scholars alike. In discussion, Rarámuri participants agreed on the importance of making information on the plants of the Sierra available to local people, especially children, so that they may continue to learn about and value the local environment. They stressed that Sierra people, who have the most direct interest in knowing the status of the local flora, do not have the economic and educational resources to carry out such research, and the results of research conducted by outsiders are mostly stored away from the Sierra and are thus inaccessible to local residents. ... Laura Arriaga (CONABIO) indicated that her institution would consider supporting such a project, as well as the creation of a research and education center in the Sierra. ...

• Sierra Biodiversity Institute (SBI) was established in the summer of 1987 by Eric and Steve Beckwitt. The Institute was founded to build upon two years of success by the founders using scientific research, public programs and the media to change the management of federal lands in the Sierra Nevada. ... The Institute was established as an independent, non-profit, public interest, scientific research center to plan for and provide information essential to landscape level protection of biological diversity within the Sierra Nevada. The Institute was also established to support the implementation of sustainable forestry, natural-resource based economies and settlement patterns in the Sierra.
• The initial goals of SBI focused on compiling research and map based biological information necessary for biological conservation planning on federal lands in the Sierra. The first research paper summarizing this information was published and distributed to state and federal agencies managing the Sierra in August 1988. The paper argued, using the principles of conservation biology and the life history of the Pacific Fisher (Martes pennanti) that all known surviving regions of closed canopy ancient forest in the Sierra Nevada must be immediately protected under federal law. The paper was well received by the US Forest Service, and immediately used by Sierran environmentalists to stop logging in key regions in the Sierra Nevada using the administrative appeals system.
