Curtis Freeze received his B.S. in fish and wildlife biology from Iowa State University in 1970 and a Ph.D. in ecology from Johns Hopkins University in 1977. He has served as coordinator for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's Latin American and Caribbean Program, Vice President for International Programs at World Wildlife Fund, and Executive Director of Yellowstone Ecosystem Studies. He is currently a Senior Fellow at World Wildlife Fund-US, an adjunct in the Department of Biology at Montana State University, and a consultant in biodiversity and wildlands conservation. Curt lives in Bozeman, Montana.Aesthetic- pleasurable benefits, mental or physical, such as natural beauty, which humans may experience as a result of environmental resources. Biodiversity- The variety and variability among living organisms and the ecological complexes in which they occur. Biota- all of the animals and some of the plants involved in a fishery or wildlife system. Biotic- living, as the biotic portion of an ecosystem. Conservation- the wise use and management of natural resources. Conservationist- those who use and manage natural resources. Consumptive use- includes activities that ha
Exploitation- harvest of a resource by humans. Economics- the study of the allocation of resources. Fishery management- the art and science of manipulating the biota, habitat, or human users of a fishery to produce some desired end result. Fishes- one or more representatives from at least two fish species. Harvest- number of game killed during hunting seasons. Non-consumptive use markets, such as bird watching and nature tourism, also play a role in biodiversity conservation. Roads that go through parks and other wildlife habitat areas directly and indirectly degrade ecosystems and depress numbers of many wildlife species. Land trusts have protected two million ha of wildlife habitat, ranches and farms, and recreational land. A new market for biodiversity conservation is green labeling. Green labeling allows the consumer to express through the market the products they desire that are harvested or produced in a manner that benefits or at least minimizes degredation of the environment and biodiversity.
