Anticipating future landscape conditions: A case study

Abstract

Anticipating landscape conditions in the 21st century is a difficult, if not impossible task. Different people have different perceptions of what future landscapes should look like. One group of people, a group of ranchers in the Malpai Borderland Region of the southwestern United States, have come together to work with government agencies, universities, and environmental groups in attempting to reduce the threat of property and ecosystem fragmentation in the region. These collaborative efforts are also finding ways to increase the productivity and biological diversity of the area’s rangelands.
