• Challenges
– Vast geographic, and therefore habitat,
differences: desert to jungle to coastal concerns
– AOR contains developing nations, often
resulting in rapid changes to environmental laws
and contractors who may not be used to natural
resource protection
– High op tempo and extensive construction
across AOR requires thorough and fast
environmental planning to protect habitat and
protected species
– Many installations do not have a dedicated
Natural Resources staff member
