Description

Ecosystem Management in the United States is the first practical and comprehensive guide to ecosystem management efforts nationwide that meets the needs of practitioners and decisionmakers alike. The book is a unique and timely resource that significantly advances our understanding of the realities of ecosystem management by moving the debate from vague discussions of theory to an examination of real issues faced by people who are actually working with ecosystem-based approaches. It is an invaluable reference for everyone involved with land management or protection.

First Sentence

In the past two decades, increasing dissatisfaction with traditional resource management approaches, coupled with the development of new scientific information about ecosystems, has led to a search for new management strategies.
