Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some
of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono
Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.
The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the
Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the
region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important
habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos
natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护
协会) named the area one of America's "Last Great Places".
Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond,
Pennsylvania, the conservancy's bud Cook is working with local people and
business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By
forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been
able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the
area.
Altemose's family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years
ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland
protection program. As a result, his family's land can be protected from
development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial
future for their 7-year-old grandson.
Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Poconos to having a local
presence and a commitment to working with local residents
"The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local
community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land. They value
quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with
conservation effort.
