Farmland Protection Issues | American Farmland Trust - 0 views

  • Protection of the Environment Well-managed agricultural land supplies important non-market goods and services for our environment. Farm and ranch lands provide food and cover for wildlife, help control flooding, protect wetlands and watersheds and maintain air quality. They can absorb and filter wastewater and provide groundwater recharge. New energy crops even have the potential to replace fossil fuels.
  • America's Agricultural Land Is at Risk Every minute of every day, we have been losing more than an acre of agricultural land to development. Why? Farm and ranch land is desirable for building because it tends to be flat, well drained and affordable. And the rapid rate of agricultural land converted to development is unnecessary—over the past 20 years, the average acreage per person for new housing almost doubled—with our best agricultural soils being developed the fastest.

  • , face unrelenting pressure from poaching
  • We are concentrating our efforts on protecting key landscapes where the big cats have the best chance of surviving and increasing over the long-term.
  • By saving tigers, we also save the biologically rich and diverse landscapes where they still roam — Asia’s last great rain forests, jungles and wild lands.
  • Russia’s prime minister convened a tiger summit where world leaders endorsed a bold plan to save tigers.
  • Three tiger subspecies - the Bali, Javan, and Caspian - have become extinct in the past 70 years.
  • six remaining subspecies - Amur, Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, South China, and Sumatran - live only in Asia, and all are threatened by poaching and habitat loss.
  • In the 1940s the Amur tiger was on the brink of extinction, with no more than 40 tigers remaining in the wild.
  • Access to the areas where Indochinese tigers live is often restricted,
  • It is estimated that the South China tiger is functionally extinct.
  • WWF is working to ensure those strategies are successfully implemented so that tigers get a strong start on their road to recovery.
  • Wild tiger numbers are at an all-time low.
  • Wild tiger numbers are at an all-time low.

    "Wild tiger numbers are at an all-time low. The largest of all the Asian big cats may be on top of the food chain and one of the most culturally important and best-loved animals, but they are also vulnerable to extinction." You can donate or "adopt" a tiger.
