Item Open Access Risk to Maintenance-Dependent Species from Orthodoxy in Species-Based Land-Use Regulation(University of Oregon, 2013-06) Novick, Adam; Toadvine, TedI theorize and offer some evidence that humans inadvertently risk exacerbating the loss of maintenance-dependent species on private land by using species-based land-use regulation to seek other benefits. Drawing evidence primarily from the US, I argue that such regulation poses a risk to maintenance-dependent species, that humans routinely disregard this risk, and that this disregard widely serves to defend the power of individuals and organizations to use such regulation to seek other benefits. I suggest this implies that with constraints on public funding, humans might improve the survival of some species by clarifying the purpose of such regulation and considering openly refraining from such regulation for some species. I also suggest such change might depend on articulating the issue as whether the survival of a species could ever depend on individuals having a right to conserve or maintain it without selectively incurring harm from regulation intended to save it.Item Open Access Expanding the range of regulatory strategies for conserving biodiversity: implications of the Willamette Valley's oak savanna(University of Oregon, Environmental Studies Program, 2006-06) Novick, AdamItem Open Access Benton County’s Prairie Species Habitat Conservation Plan: Signposts for the future of species-based land-use regulation?(The Wildlife Society, Oregon Chapter, 2011-02-10) Novick, AdamDoes Benton County's recently approved Habitat Conservation Plan address concern that species-based land-use regulation (whether prohibitions or mitigation requirements) might be counterproductive to the survival of maintenance-dependent species on non-federal land? I suggest that despite significant limitations, the plan gives this concern unprecedented recognition, including a promise of some prosecutorial discretion and a recommendation to refine rules implementing the US Endangered Species Act. I discuss what might help the US Fish and Wildlife Service and others do more to address this concern.
