development-related impacts need to be mitigated to promote a balance among competing uses. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is reasonable to assume that air pollution affects other higher order animals in the same ways that it affects humans, although effects on wildlife are not well documented. \u00a0The effects of dust and other particulate forms of air pollution on animal ecology are becoming a more widely recognized subject of interest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water management needs to be carefully considered, so that we can meet municipal and industrial needs, while preserving traditional agricultural uses, and ensuring aquatic habitat to support wildlife.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thriving populations of big game animals will, at times, cause some level of damage to farming and ranching operations, by competing with domestic livestock for available forage, or by damaging crops, fences, or irrigation equipment. \u00a0A number of methods can be applied to mitigate the damage, including various forms of wildlife harvest and removal, issuance of landowner permits, development of a conservation lease which involves remuneration or other forms of compensation for depredation, and, finally, direct monetary compensation for agricultural damages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utah\u2019s<\/span><a
