PARTNERS IN CONSERVATION

AWARDS CEREMONY

United States Department of the Interior

Message from the Secretary

Welcome to the Department of the Interior’s Partners in Conservation Awards Ceremony. It is my great pleasure to recognize the achievements of more than 500 diverse organizations and individuals who partner with others to conserve and restore our land, help wildlife thrive, address water issues, and forge solutions to complex natural resource challenges.

These awards represent the dedicated and tireless efforts of people from all walks of life from across our Nation. They share a deep commitment to conservation and community.

Today, we celebrate their accomplishments and ask them to join us in a new era of conservation, an era that I hope will rival those of Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. In coming years, we will have many days like today to celebrate successful partnerships rooted in a common purpose for conservation.

Please join me in congratulating our Partners in Conservation Award winners. Their achievements exemplify excellence in conservation through partnerships and cooperation with others. They are an inspiration to us all, and we are grateful for their efforts.

An exemplary model of transparent decision-making, the Commission has been extremely successful in establishing partnerships with federal and Utah state agencies, local governments, universities, non-profit organizations, and the Ute Tribe to implement a wide variety of ecosystem restoration and wildlife conservation projects. Since their enactment, the Commission has acquired and developed 21,300 acres of wetland and wildlife habitat. It has restored and provided access to 173 miles of rivers and streams. During 2010, the Commission acquired and preserved an additional 1,462 acres of wetlands and 11 miles of rivers and streams.Nominated by the Office of the Assistant Secretary, Water and Science

Permian Basin Memorandum of Agreement Program, New Mexico

This innovative collaborative partnership has used technology and partnerships to better protect cultural resources and support archaeological research while streamlining the permitting process for energy development in the Permian Basin of Southeastern New Mexico. Partners include BLM, the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and the New Mexico Archaeological Council. Thirty-five different industry partners have utilized this voluntary program, contributing more than $3.3 million in pooled resources to fund key landscape archaeological research and help foster balance between resource protection and energy development on public lands. Further, the program’s ethnographic inventory with the Mescalero Apache tribe has enabled Mescalero youth and elders to connect with areas of importance to the tribe in southeastern New Mexico and to participate in BLM’s “Take it Outside” program.Nominated by the Bureau of Land Management

Archaeological Analysis of Submerged Sites on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf

From the shipwrecked 1554 Spanish fleet off South Padre Island in Texas to the German U-boats that patrolled the bluish-green waters during the Gulf of Mexico -- shipwrecks represent approximately 500 years of maritime exploration and exploitation in this region. Archaeological Analysis of Submerged Sites on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf is a unique collaboration between Federal, private sector and academic entities to research, document, and raise public awareness of historically significant shipwreck sites that lie on the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico – to establish surveys and preservation protocols for historic sites and their stories, as we expand our nation’s energy portfolio.

Camp Lawton Partnership Team, Georgia

One hundred fifty years after the start of the Civil War, a new chapter of Civil War history is being written, thanks to Camp Lawton Partnership Team. The Project began as a collaborative effort between Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Georgia Southern University’s (GSU) Department of Sociology and Anthropology, and later U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in an attempt to determine the exact location of the Camp Lawton stockade at Magnolia Springs State Park.

The project team works closely with area schools, and regularly speaks to organizations focused on history, education and tourism, as well as at conferences throughout the region. Through their efforts, thousands of people have learned more about their history as citizens of the United States and the value of the cultural resources currently managed by USFWS and Georgia DNR.Nominated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, Hawaii

After major earthquake damage in 2006, Pu’ukohola Heiau National Historic Site (completed in 1791), one of Hawaii’s most significant Native Hawaiian sites and visitor attractions, volunteers came together over 4 years to restore the sacred temples known as Pu’ukohola Heiau and Mailekini Heiau. While this successful volunteer partnership resulted in a savings of over $3 million and a complete restoration of the temples, one of the most meaningful achievements experienced was the hands-on engagement of 600 native Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart from across the State of Hawai’i and the mainland. This project provides a international and innovative model for engagement of native peoples in the stewardship of their sacred sites.Nominated by the National Park Service
