National Science and Technology Center Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Report

摘要

We are pleased to provide you with the National Science and Technology Centers annual report for fiscal year 2004. This has been another challenging and exciting year for the Center. The use of the public lands and resources, particularly in the Western States, continues to increase as the population of those States multiplies. Consequently, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) are faced with pressing challenges regarding the management of our natural resources. Integrating science and technology into the management of our Nations natural resources is critical to their use, protection, and conservation.
