Public perceptions of land management in the Great Basin

Abstract

The Great Basin is undergoing significant landscape change due to an array of natural and anthropogenic factors. Land management strategies intended to address these problems will require landscape-scale solutions that can reduce, reverse, or mitigate ecosystem degradation while remaining economically feasible and socially acceptable. The latter criterion may be problematic, especially given ongoing rapid growth of the region’s human population.
