JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 20, 2021) - Lt. Cmdr. Leonarda Deguzman, director for resource management at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, talks with Sandra Crews, deputy comptroller. Deguzman, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii, says, “Our financial management team keeps a watchful eye to stay within budgets as we manage funds for the command.” The Medical Service Corps, celebrating its 74th birthday on Aug. 4, is the Navy’s most diverse corps — including clinicians, scientists, and healthcare administrators.

The Conasauga River is an incredibly diverse system with a rich biodiversity of freshwater fishes, mussels, snails, and crayfish that ranks the highest priority watershed in Georgia for aquatic conservation. Despite the Conasauga’s incredible biodiversity, many species are presumed extinct or extirpated and approximately 22 species (51%) are considered highly imperiled throughout their historic range.

Across the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests, we work on improving aquatic connectivity by removing barriers, decreasing sources of sediment, and increasing large woody debris in streams. Forests serve as great filters so water quality is excellent in mountain streams, but unpaved roads, trails, or campsites next to streams can allow sediment to get to the streams. Learn more at: www.fs.usda.gov/resources/conf/landmanagement/resourceman...
The Chattahoochee National Forest has 2,436 miles of perennial streams. About 1,770 miles (72 percent) are classified as cold water streams. The remaining 666 miles (28 percent) are classified as cool water streams.The highest diversity of fish of the 43 watersheds for the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests is the upper Conasauga watershed with 73 fish species, 9 of which are federally-listed threatened or endangered, or Forest Service sensitive.

Krausirpe, Gracias a Dios, Honduras, February 1992
For a few months in early 1992, I lived with the Tawahka Indians, studying their culture, resource management practices, agricultural and fishing techniques. I learned about the challenges faced by this small indigenous group from outside forces beyond their control. Mostly though, I grew to love and appreciate these gentle and welcoming people who accepted me into their homes and lives.
.
The Tawahka, an indigenous group of approximately 1,500, live in the middle Río Patuca region of La Mosquitia in northeastern Honduras. Up until the early 17th century, they originally lived on the northern Caribbean coast but were forced inland by the Miskito Indians. There, the Tawahka adopted new subsistence patterns, primarily hunting, fishing and swidden agriculture, which historically have had minimal negative impact on the region’s biodiversity and ecological integrity.
.
Although the Tawahka have been geographically isolated for centuries they continue to struggle with the challenge many indigenous peoples face: how to maintain the values and cultural practices that make them unique while resisting outside threats to the tropical rain forest ecology and their natural resource management practices. The Tawahka Asangni Biosphere Reserve (TABR), formally designated in 2002, was meant to curtail outside impacts on the Tawahka. Sadly, pressure from wealthy cattle ranchers, environmental refugees, drug traffickers, and of course, climate change continues to threaten the Tawahka’s culture and livelihood, as well as the forest’s stunning natural beauty. And to add insult to injury, the Covid-19 pandemic has the potential to wreak havoc with indigenous populations.
.
Protected areas such as the TABR are meant to shield biodiversity as well as the native human populations. Acknowledging that human activities are intertwined with the natural world is crucial to the long-term management of protected areas. Indeed, author Mark Dowie ("Conservation Refugees; The Hundred-Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples") speaking of the tension between conservationists and local or indigenous populations says, "...when conservationists find unprotected land that has high biological diversity, it's because there are people living there who possess traditional ecological knowledge that protects not only biological diversity but cultural diversity.”
.
Though the Tawahka were full partners in my Environmental Studies thesis research (they helped design study questions, assisted in gathering data, and were given results of my work), I took so much more from the experience. I still owe them a debt of gratitude that I hope to repay someday.

Don Goheen, forest pathologist, speaking at the 2001 IUFRO Working Party 2.02.15, International Conference. Southern Oregon.
Note: "An international conference on breeding and genetic resources of the five-needle pines took place in southwestern Oregon, USA, July 23-27, 2001. The scope was worldwide, including 25 species of subgenus Strobus found in North and Central America, Europe, and Asia. The conference was held under the auspices of Working Unit 2.02.15 of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), with the support of the USDA Forest Service and several other forestry organizations. The goals of the conference were to review available knowledge from research on the genetics and genetic resources of this diverse group of pines, and to report current research on genetic diversity and natural hybridization and on the genetics of growth, adaptability, pest resistance, and other traits of interest in applied tree genetics and gene resource conservation."

'Cryptic' white pine blister rust infection on the bole of a 25 year old sugar pine at BLM's Boulder Creek progeny test site in southwestern Oregon. Note the production of small amounts of orange aecia in the cracks of the bark in early July 2008; note also the lack of obvious stem swelling on the lower bole of this tree where the infection has likely been present for a decade or more.
