     Extractions: The Badger-Two Medicine Roadless Area encompasses National Forest lands adjacent to the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. It is a dramatic landscape where the plains, the mountains, and two rivers meet. Proposals for oil and gas exploration leases were suspended several years ago, but the completion of a cultural resources inventory and the Bush administration's push for drilling on public lands may open up this area any day. Buster Yellow Kidney, from the Blackfeet tribe, says: "All of the mountains of the Badger-Two Medicine are sacred and necessary to our religion. It is not possible to name certain peaks and designate them as sacred peaks. To do so would be like asking a Christian which part of his church was most sacred, and then bulldozing everything else." The local tribes and concerned conservation groups expect the final version of a cultural resources inventory to be released soon. The Blackfeet tribe is also waiting on the result of its petition to have the Badger-Two Medicine designated under the National Register of Historic Places. However, it is uncertain how much influence these two determinations will have on the decision to allow oil and gas development. Drilling in the Badger-Two Medicine area would have a serious impact on the spiritual practices of the Blackfeet due to the noise, construction, increased human traffic, and destruction of the land itself in an area that is an integral part of Blackfeet religion. The area is also a crucial winter refuge for grizzly bear, bighorn sheep, and elk that enter from nearby state wildlife refuges and Glacier National Park.

     Extractions: WILDLIFE CRIME WILDLIFE CRIME The Cumbria Police force area covers country areas with large populations of wild animals, birds and plants, many of which are protected by law. What is Wildlife Crime? Wildlife crime takes many forms, from people shooting at birds with air guns in the local park to the more organised crimes of badger baiting and the trade in endangered species. Some of the following are crimes which come up within the Cumbria Police force area:- BADGER CRIME The badger is one of Britain's best-loved wild animals. It is nocturnal and seldom seen. Badgers live in social groups and the actual population may be as high as 6,000. Every Badger and every set is protected by law. Nevertheless, badgers are threatened by illegal snaring, poisoning and particularly the activities of badger baiters who dig them from their setts before taking them to fight with dogs. Baiting is extremely cruel, causing serious injuries to the dogs, as well as the deaths of many badgers. It has been illegal since 1835 but has never quite died out. In recent years it has made a big comeback and, in some parts of the country, the badger has been wiped out. Badger baiting is highly organised and large sums of money are placed in bets. Sadly, Badger baiting in towns and cities is on the increase. BIRD CRIME There is a trade in illegally caught wild birds, both in the UK and internationally. With few exceptions it is an offence to be in possession of a British wild bird unless it has been bred in captivity, in which case it will wear a special ring. Birds of prey are particularly sought after and every year cases come to court where people are accused of taking birds from the wild, taking eggs, shooting, trapping or poisoning birds. Unlike many wild mammals, the vast majority of British wild birds are specifically protected by law but, again, large sums of money are involved and a flourishing illegal market exists. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds liaise with the Police to investigate information received from people possessing birds or offering them for sale, and several convictions have been secured.

     Extractions: Woodchester's Wildlife Woodchester Park is a wonderful place for wildlife. Protected in this secluded valley, the woods, lakes and pasture provide food and shelter for many different kinds of wildlife. Buzzards, owls and woodpeckers breed in the woodland and the lakes are home to coots, moorhens, mallard and mandarin ducks. The lime-rich soils encourage colourful wildflowers like primroses and aquilegia as well as more uncommon ones such as orchids, Solomon's-seal and lily-of-the-valley. Woodchester is nationally famous for its bats and badgers. Greater horseshoe bats have breeding roosts in the Mansion, where they live during the summer months, emerging at dusk and dawn to feed on insects, particularly dung beetles in cow pats left by grazing cattle. Lesser horseshoe, Pipistrelle, Daubenton's and long-eared brown bats are also found in the valley, usually hunting flying insects in the woods and pasture and over the surface of the lakes. More about bats With twelve main setts excavated in the sandy soils of the wooded valley, Woodchester has one of the largest concentrations of badger setts in Britain. The undergrowth offers some protection for the sett as well as easy access to pastures where the badgers hunt for earthworms and other small animals and plants. The Ministry of Agriculture
