With a current administration goal to <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">permit at least 25 gigawatts of new solar, wind and geothermal production on public lands no later than 2025, <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">applications for large-scale solar development have sky-rocketed in many western states where land is relatively <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">flat, and sun is plentiful. Solar energy development in certain areas may have a high potential to conflict with NPS <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">resources and values that cross beyond park boundaries. For example, desert big horn sheep migrate in and out of <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">several national parks including Death Valley National Park and Mojave National Preserve throughout the year. <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Large-scale solar energy facilities proposed in natural migration routes can severely affect park populations by<\/span><br role=\"presentation\" \/><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">reducing accessibility to food and other resources needed for survival, increasing mortality, and further fragmenting <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">an already reduced population. It is critical to identify cross-boundary NPS-administered resources and values to <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">protect them from the potential effects of landscape-scale and local-scale solar energy development. Understanding <\/span><span dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">what and where the impacts are to our resources will enable the NPS to better advocate for its protection.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9433,"featured_media":34096,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[18],"tags":[4,36,28,33,141,9],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46027"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46027"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46028,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46027\/revisions\/46028"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mesweekly\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
