| Abstract | Because of improved emissions control and tighter air and water quality regulations, disturbance of wildlife is replacing toxic emissions as the major ecological problem associated with hydrothermal development. This problem is discussed, using raptorial birds as an example. It is proposed that a 1 km buffer zone be observed around raptor nest sites in the arid, intermountain west. Suggestions are made for increased monitoring of wildlife behavior. |
