Four sure ways to undermine a good idea ... and hurt endangered species
Article Abstract:
There are several ways by which the benefits of safe harbor agreements between private landowners and the Fish and Wildlife Service or National Marine Fisheries Service can be negated. Incorporating the conflicting methods of safe harbor agreements with traditional habitat conservation practices can harm conservation efforts. Similarly, the denial of safe harbor advantages to landowners receiving government funds for habitat improvements will discourage them to pursue conservation objectives. In addition, complex compliance requirements are likely to put off landowners.

Can prescribed fire save the endangered coastal prairie ecosystem from Chinese tallow invasion?
Article Abstract:
The coastal prairie ecosystem that stretches from central Louisiana to southern Texas is threatened by the invasion of the Chinese tallow tree which has a reputation for speedy growth and prolific reproduction. Another characteristic is its ability to suppress native plants and herbaceous species which in a matter of a few years can create a near monoculture forest. Studies have shown that one effective method of controlling the spread of the Chinese tallow and bringing habitat back into its natural state is the use of prescribed fire.
