Noah's mandate and the birth of urban bioplanning

Article Abstract:

The birth of urban bioplanning had made open space a hot political topic Theoretically preservation of both human society and the natural world have been goals since Noah's day. Urban bioplanning, to thrive, must be reinforced by changes in university curricula and in continuing education for all participating. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is trying to train and adapt, but scientists must take the lead and make changes in the classroom. In southern California it is possible to see the emerging discipline of urban bioplanning. Community support is important and it is important to bring togther officials from different layers of government along with land-use planners, biologists and economists to get consensus.
