<br />~ <br /> <br />000[\ ~ll <br /> <br />., <br /> <br />those active in habitat conservation along the Platte indicates that habitat <br />complexes can be conserved in one action but also in parcels over a <br />period of several years. The process is so dependent upon the availability <br />of land. <br /> <br />CASH CONTRIBUTIONS <br /> <br />Monetary contributions (any amount) to habitat conservation should <br />be centrally pooled at, for example, the National Fish and Wildlife <br />Foundation, where contributions could be accumulated in a "Platte River <br />Fund" and perhaps matched by the Foundation. The Fund would build <br />until such time that an appropriate sum is reached that could be used to <br />purchase or restore a parcel of land within a block or segment and which <br />meets the biological and hydrological criteria of the PRMJS. <br /> <br />PROPERTY CONTRIBUTIONS <br /> <br />Although it would be preferable to receive only contributions of <br />land along the Platte River meeting the biological and hydrological <br />criteria of the PRMJS, a contribution should never be turned down <br />unless it results in a net negative cost to the recovery program or loss of <br />habitat. If the proposed contribution does not meet those criteria, the <br />land could still be accepted and then sold or traded for land which does <br />meet the criteria. Bequeaths of land could be handled in a similar <br />manner. Contributions of property such as vehicles, houses etc., could <br />be incorporated into habitat management activities or sold and the funds <br />placed in the "Platte River Fund". Bequeaths of property could be <br />handled in a similar manner. <br /> <br />4 <br />
