Use of landscape ecosystems for species inventory and conservation
Article Abstract:
Effective management of landscape ecosystems can be an effective tool in endangered species conservation. Ecosystem management, which focuses on the relationship between species and the ecological systems they moved in, is effective in protecting both common and rare endangered species. It also offers several advantages over the more popular but less effective specie-oriented approach in the conservation of endangered species. The successful use of the approach in Michigan can be duplicated in other US states.

Putting the "E" back in EPA
Article Abstract:
The EPA is taking a more active role in the protection of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Additionally, it is emphasizing the importance of ecological values in carrying out its assigned role as the leading federal agency in the fight against pollution. More effective environmental laws and policies, including those governing the conservation of endangered species, are being taken by the EPA as a result of its renewed focus on ecosystem protection.

Spotted owl protection: unintentional evolution toward ecosystem management
Article Abstract:
Ecosystem management is an unintentional product of the spotted owl conservation program set up during the 1970s. This program continues to play an important role in efforts to save old-growth forest areas in the Pacific Northwest. This is because old forest ecosystems has long served as the typical habitat of owls. Spotted owl and old-forest management programs are still essential public environmental concerns.
