Maintaining viable farms and ranches adjacent to national forests for future of wildlife and open space. Part 1: The history of the problem.

摘要

The interface between private ranchlands and national forests in the USA is examined. Part 1 provides a brief narrative and history about the interactions between these land ownerships as they affect both economic and ecological relationships, specifically mule deer and elk migration. Part 2 discusses methods of social/political adjustment to produce the radical middle "win-win-win" outcomes among ranchers, conservationists, and wildlife in the New West.
