Wildlife Habitat Council- thinking habitat and conservation…
ExxonMobil, BP, Marathon, Shell, Occidental, ConocoPhillips, Noble Energy.: these are just a few of the companies currently working with of the Wildlife Habitat Council, a non-profit conservation organization working to increase wildlife habitat, enhance corporate sustainability, and promote conservation education. The Council was formed in 1988, as one of the first cooperative efforts between the environmental community and industry and today has over 100 corporate members. And a new regional office in Denver, Colorado is focused on preserving and promoting the multi-use aspect of the intermountain state’s landscapes by implementing programs that will bring industry and land conservation together.
The Council’s mission is unique to oil and gas production companies as numerous opportunities exist for enhancing wildlife habitat during E&P stages. Though production sites are generally located in remote locations, these lands are often inhabited by a variety of species of wildlife and enhancing wildlife habitat on these lands can prove extremely valuable for landowners and can send an important message to the surrounding public. In short, the Council can provide guidance on production sites, helping to take the simple steps towards minimizing habitat loss and fragmentation, and employing wildlife management techniques that often also fulfill reclamation or permitting requirements for state or federal agencies.
And so, if you would like to learn more about the Council please visit the website at www.wildlifehc.org.
