• 1. Adapt to new realities of new climate
• 2. Slow down rate by reducing our impact on communities
• Cleaning up the way we live

• hybrid vehicles
• biodisel fuel in all equipment
• power by methane
• home construction - affordable green living
• energy recovery techniques in home construction
• wind power
• solar energy - creates jobs, free, saves 5,000 tons of CO2

• produce 50% mroe power
• cuts
• CO2 emmissions is still power

continuously collect CO2 mix with different chemicals and release that of what seashells have been made of (harmless)

• Relocate elk once per month using telemetry techniques from fixed wing aircraft
• locate calves of collared elk twice year to estimate production and survival
• Conduct annual helicopter surveys using recapture techniques to estimate population

• 2002 relocation 634x
• 2003 relocation 969x

Where elk are specifically colors differentiate: different months of location

• elk would use same area throughout year
• rejected

• 100% of females observed still had calves
• Some females observed were sub-adult
• Productivity and recruitment appear high

• Number of radio collared elk in survey: 47
• Number of radio collared elk seen during surveys: 36

number of radio elk seen during surveys/number of radio collared elk in survey area: 36/47: 76.6%

• Rejected hypothesis: used separate areas
• elk move on to private lands during hunting season
• Population size: good size, good productivity
