Multi-Agency Planning for Natural Areas in Tennessee
Article Abstract:
Multi-agency planning efforts are usually organized to coordinate activities of several agencies in a particular region or field of activity. A new approach was attempted in Tennessee to coordinate state, federal and private agencies who were creating nature preserves. This approach was based on the ten listed premises, included here. The Tennessee Protection Planning Committee developed a process through discussion and development at meetings. The process must be based on realistic assumptions about each agency's ability to participate in such a coordinated activity. Full participation of all members is necessary.

Do natural rights derive from natural law?
Article Abstract:
Natural rights do not arise from natural law because, as John Locke noted, each culture forms separate notions of what is proper or improper, debunking Thomas Aquinas' natural law theory that the nonrational world provides a universally guiding moral law. Natural rights are certifiable liberties based upon the one fundamental liberty of self-ownership. Self-ownership includes self-preservation, necessitating a need to respect the right in others in order to avoid a harmful backlash often associated with demands for the recognition of individual dignities.
