摘要: The purpose of this EA is to analyze the effects of WS activities on civil and military airports in Minnesota to manage damage and hazards caused by mammalian and avian wildlife species. The magnitude of wildlife hazards to aviation will likely continue to increase with the rise in air traffic volume in the U.S., and the continuing desire to use open areas around airports for agriculture, disposal sites and wildlife habitat. The adaptability of many wildlife species to human activities and the dramatic increase in the population of some highly adaptable species compounds the problem. Experts within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture expect the risk, frequency, and potential severity of wildlife-aircraft collisions to escalate over the next decade (Cleary et al. 2002). The goal of Wildlife Services (WS) assistance at airports is to protect human health and safety by successfully discouraging wildlife from utilizing critical air and ground space necessary for safe aircraft operations.
