CPAM helps protect public lands in Brazil, around the world By Ravyn Cullor @RCullor99
The Center for Protected Area Management out of Colorado State University aims to help protect public lands around the world. CPAM, an arm of the department of human dimensions of natural resources out of the Warner College of Natural Re-
sources and the U.S. Forest Service International Programs, has participants in 23 countries around the world developing management plans for protected lands, with their biggest program in Brazil. The program is international outreach for CSU, as it is a land-grant school and an industry leader in natural resources for around a century, said co-directors Jim Barborak and Ryan Finchum.
“Protected areas are one conservation tool that is used to protect biodiversity and other values in ecosystem services that are important for humans and all life on earth,” Finchum said. “That’s really where we put all of our energy is focusing on how to develop and manage robust systems that are equitably and effectively designed.” CPAM’s primary tool is what they call “capacity develop-
ment,” or teaching public land management skills developed in the U.S. to professionals around the world so they can implement and develop them on their own. Barborak and Finchum said since the United States created the National Parks Service more than 100 years ago, knowledge and expertise on land management have accumulated. However, land management issues
change so quickly, it’s best to teach people internationally how to solve those problems independently. “If we were just to go in as experts and say, ‘You build that trail this way,’ we’re not creating capacity in countries where, for the most part, most protected areas have been created in the last generation,” Barborak see CPAM on page 4 >>
Abortion Rights: Bold & Without Shame
Here at The Brazen Project, we’re wroking to create a Colorado where everyone has access to safe, affordable abortion care in a timely manner: without shame or stigma. We’re here on the CSU campus (as well as CU Boulder and Denver) because we know members of our generation will be the leaders on issues like this.
