“…These are increasing human population, increasing rates of resource consumption, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions (Ayres 2000;Cohen 1995;McMichael et al 2003;Pimentel 1994;Pyšek et al 2010). However, there is a range of critical regional responses that policy makers and land managers can take now that will mitigate some of the worst impacts of climate-change on biodiversity ).…”

Priorities in policy and management when existing biodiversity stressors interact with climate-change

There are three key drivers of the biodiversity crisis: (1) the well known existing threats to biodiversity such as habitat loss, invasive pest species and resource exploitation; (2) direct effects of climate-change, such as on coastal and high elevation communities and coral reefs; and (3) the interaction between existing threats and climate-change. The third driver is set to accelerate the biodiversity crisis beyond the impacts of the first and second drivers in isolation. In this review we assess these interactions, and suggest the policy and management responses that are needed to minimise their impacts. Renewed management and policy action that address known threats to biodiversity could substantially diminish the impacts of future climate-change. An appropriate response to climate-change will include a reduction of land clearing, increased habitat restoration using indigenous species, a reduction in the number of exotic species transported between continents or between major regions of endemism, and a reduction in the unsustainable use of natural resources. Achieving these measures requires substantial reform of international, national and regional policy, and the development of new or more effective alliances between scientists, government agencies, non-government organisations and land managers. Furthermore, new management practices and policy are needed that consider shifts in the geographic range of species, and that are responsive to new information acquired from improved research and monitoring programs. The interactions of climate-change with existing threats to biodiversity have the potential to drive many species to extinction, but there is much that can be done now to reduce this risk.

“…162 The composition of this proposal is not to mandate unsupervised travel, but to provide the option to those parents who believe their child is entitled to the same freedom and independence they endured as children. The proposal is a right, not a duty, as it allows parents to use their own judgment, something they have been deterred from, 163 rather than forcing them to do something. The creation of a model FRP statute for all states to follow will protect parents who perceive unsupervised travel as beneficial while also respecting parents who do not wish to grant their children such independence.…”

Keeping the Free‐Range Parent Immune from Child Neglect: You Cannot Tell Me How to Raise My Children

Granting children a level of independence to travel unsupervised to local neighborhood areas lies within the parents’ discretion to raise their children as they see fit. Failing to recognize that such discretion is grounded within the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, states criminalize parental actions, including unsupervised travel to local areas, as child neglect. Criminalizing such parental actions leads to both unjustified prosecutions and convictions of child neglect, along with unjustified removals by Child Protective Services (CPS) and the unnecessary and detrimental overprotection of children. The overprotection of children referred to as “helicopter parenting,” does not render the safety, physical, or emotional benefits most parents, police officers, and CPS reason. Further, criminalizing such parental actions distracts CPS from focusing on the real cases of child neglect. Creating a model free‐range parenting statute that provides full immunity from criminal charges of child neglect can effectively facilitate parental rights that are already implemented. However, the model statute must be limited as to the parental actions protected in order to preserve safety. This Note proposes a recognition of the protection needed among free‐range parents and urges the creation of a model statute based on the language of The Rule of Construction Regarding Travel to and from School, permitting children of any age to travel to and from school unsupervised, while negating a charge of child neglect, and the language of the Maryland directive policy regarding unsupervised travel and play.
