| Abstract: |
In addition to bolstering economic health, the U.S. military has helped sustain the region’s quality of life and natural legacy. The military has offered the community a wide range of outdoor recreation opportunities on military contained lands, and demonstrated sound proactive land management. In particular, Eglin Air Force Base has been recognized on a national and international level for its ability to balance defense needs with recreation opportunities and environmental sustainment programs. In 1990, Eglin AFB established a threatened and endangered species management program to work toward recovering the various animal and plant species on its property. With 121 rare and listed species, Eglin has found active management toward recovery will increase mission flexibility. |
