<description><![CDATA[ (May 8, 2012) One of the North Country&apos;s most outspoken environmental leaders is returning to the Park-wide debate in the Adirondacks.Peter Bauer, who led the Residents Committee to Protect the Adirondacks, has spent the last five years working on conservation issues in the Lake George area. In that role, he&apos;s been far less visible and far less controversial. But Bauer announced yesterday that he&apos;ll take over as executive director of Protect the Adirondacks, a group that formed in 2009.  He spoke about the move with Brian Mann.

<title>Disarray in Adirondack environmental community, defeat on Tupper resort</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19181/20120124/disarray-in-adirondack-environmental-community-defeat-on-tupper-resort</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 24, 2012) Last week’s decision by the Adirondack Park Agency to allow construction of a massive new resort in Tupper Lake was a major defeat for environmental groups.  Developers of the Adirondack Club and Resort won permission to build more than 700 luxury homes and condos, much of it on timberland that borders the High Peaks Wilderness.Green activists spent much of the last decade opposing the project, insisting that it would set dangerous precedents for future development. But debate over the resort came at a time when once-powerful environmental groups were disintegrating, faltering under financial strain and deeply divided over the movement’s agenda. As Brian Mann reports, last week’s vote could signal a balance of power in Park debates as environmentalists scramble to regroup.
