"It's good to see improvement in conservation in areas that had slipped, particularly in Northern California, whether that was because of rain or other reasons". .
That year, the big donors to Cambodia -- mainly the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Asian Development Bank -- insisted that their roughly $1.5 billion in aid be linked to improvements in forest conservation.
He formed a panel that developed the first energy plan in more than a decade that focused on an array of solutions including improvements in energy conservation, expansion of renewable energy sources like wind and biomass, and the development of clean energy sources like hydrogen.
In nonstationary cases, government intervention can be effective and produce permanent improvements in energy conservation and other environmental concerns.
The potential for improvements in avian conservation at the landscape scale by adopting the NDP approach is largely unknown.
This suggests that further improvements in systematic conservation planning are more likely to come more from measuring and integrating cost and other socio-economic considerations than from focusing exclusively on refinement of biological criteria.
We conclude that policy-makers should take into consideration the type of farming system when designing cost-effective agri-environment policies for low intensity farming systems, and that improvements in bee conservation are not necessarily in conflict with maintaining farm income.
While the drought's impacts have been felt across California, the study finds that, in general, urban regions — benefiting from improvements in efficiencies, conservation, water management practices and other by-products of previous droughts — stand out as a "bright spot".
It will also depend on how well future conservation policy integrates improvements in onfarm water conservation with watershed/landscape-scale water-management institutions that help to encourage market-induced water reallocations supporting real water conservation.
