Our invited participants to the workshop include BCEP’s partner organizations, as well as representatives from multilaterals, NGOs and other academic environmental programs. Friday, May 2 3-5pm, Olin 102 Public Panel discussion "Commodifying nature? The debate over sustainable watershed management" Professor Gautam Sethi Bard College Juan José Consejo Dueñas Director, Instituto de la Naturaleza y la Sociedad de Oaxaca Tom O'Brien Executive Director, Watershed Agricultural Council Payment for Ecosystems Services (PES) has emerged as a new paradigm for fostering sustainable development, arguing that the providers of ecosystems services need to be compensated to sustain their participation. While this idea is appealing in principle, its critics argue that the PES mechanism is inherently problematic because it commodifies nature. Other critics point to the onerous information base required for the successful implementation of PES. This panel will discuss both sets of issues, using the Hudson Valley and the Oaxaca watersheds as cases in point.

Wolves in the Northern Rockies: The Symbol of Beneficial Change for Western Public LandsTuesday, April 15, 2008In late February 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed the northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf population from the federal list of endangered species. It has been argued that this action violated the Endangered Species Act, due to the genetic inadequacy of the present population and the refusal of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana to make meaningful commitments to wolf conservation. In the past two decades, the wolves of the northern Rocky Mountains have made remarkable progress toward recovery. While this progress deserves celebration, it is not yet complete. Wolves in the northern Rockies are endangered due to an insufficient number of wolves, and genetic isolation arising from a lack of interchange between wolves in Yellowstone, central Idaho, northwestern Montana, and Canada. With continued recovery efforts, legitimate wolf recovery in the region is readily attainable. Delisting would further endanger wolves because of increased wolf killing, reduced wolf numbers, and less genetic exchange between wolf populations. The Fish and Wildlife Service's premature decision to strip the protections of the Endangered Species Act from the northern Rocky Mountain wolves promises to undo the progress of recent years. Given by Jon Marvel, of the Western Watersheds Project

Water Wars: Myth, Hype or RealityWednesday, March 7, 2007Presented by Dr. Jacob W. Kijne ....Refreshments at 5pm with lecture to follow.... For the thousands of years of recorded history, there may at most be one war that was fought specifically and only over water resources. But water issues have often exacerbated existing tensions as continues to be the case, for example, in the Middle East. There, and all over the world, people have competed—sometimes violently—for water. Within a nation, different water users, such as farmers, power companies, recreational users, and environmentalists, are often at odds. The larger the number of stakeholders, the more difficult it is to share water resources equitably. Today more people than ever before are competing for the same amount of water. In some countries this competition has led to diminishing supplies of water for essential activities, including growing food. Are water wars therefore more likely in the future if some countries can grow enough food and others cannot?
