“…Executive Office 2001 ). In the Upper Green River Basin, it is only a matter of time until the cumulative effects of increasing roads, trucks, heavy machinery, extraction, housing, poaching, people, and habitat alterations truncate a migration corridor in a park and, ultimately, an unprecedented migration that has existed for more than 6000 years ( Miller & Saunders 2000 ) and that is of national value.…”

“…Here, the issue is that federal permitting processes are being fast-tracked under Executive Order 13212, which remands the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture to "expedite review of permits or take other actions necessary to accelerate the completion of energy-related projects" ( U.S. Executive Office 2001).

“…Exacerbating this problem is the fact that humans may already have created such obstructions without realizing it. In a remarkable piece of palaeozoological work, Miller & Sanders (2000; Sanders & Miller, 2004) demonstrate that a long‐distance seasonal migration corridor in western Wyoming used today by pronghorn ( Antilocapra americana ) was used 6000 years ago, and likely was used continuously between then and now. Given this long‐term and long‐distance seasonal migration pattern, any obstruction could result in extirpation of the population that uses it (Berger, Cain & Berger, 2006).…”

It has been argued by some neozoologists (those who study living animals) that the palaeozoological record is biased and incomplete (relative to an existing biological community) and therefore should not be consulted for purposes of conservation biology. An article published in a biology journal in 2011 lists numerous reasons why natural history collections (NHCs) of skins and skulls of animals collected over the past century or two are exceptionally valuable to conservation biologists because those collections provide significant time depth to numerous variables that document global biological change. Many of those same variables can be, and have been, identified in the palaeozoological record. Those variables are of major value to conservation biology, whether their values are taken from 100-year-old NHCs or from palaeozoological remains. Empirical examples in which the identified variables are measured in palaeozoological contexts indicate that the palaeozoological record should indeed be consulted by conservation biologists and can no longer be considered unsatisfactory for modern resource management.

“…Berger (2004b) claims that this pronghorn migration is the second longest land mammal migration in the Western Hemisphere to the caribou (Rangifer tarandus) migrations of Alaska and the Yukon. Archeological data shows that at least a portion of the Wyoming pronghorn migration occurred 6,000 years ago (Miller and Saunders 2000).…”

The American West’s longest large mammal migration: clarifying and securing the common interest

Over the last 10 years, conflict has grown over a 170-mile pronghorn antelope (Antilocapra americana) migration between Grand Teton National Park and the Upper Green River Basin in western Wyoming. Resolving conflict in the common interest is proving difficult. This movement is the longest mammal migration in the lower 48 states, spanning the jurisdiction of three federal agencies, three Wyoming counties, and over 40 private landowners. In addition, there are over ten non-governmental conservation organizations, two major state agencies, Wyoming's executive office, and many citizens involved in the issue. There are three major problem definitions serving the beliefs of participants: the ecological-scientific (conservation biologists, environmentalists), local rights (local control, property rights), and cultural value (historic, western heritage) definitions. These definitions challenge the social and decision making processes of regional communities and government agencies. Underlying the problem of securing the common interest is the highly fragmented patterns of authority and control, misorganized arena(s), and parochial perspectives of many participants. Options promoted by participants can be loosely classified as top-down (government, expert driven) versus bottom-up (local, practice-based) approaches and reflect preferences for the distribution and uses of power and other values. Given the social and decision making context of this case, the bottom-up, practiced-based approach would likely best secure a common interest outcome.
