Fish and Wildlife 2000. Mountain Sheep Ecosystem Management Strategy in the 11Western States and Alaska

摘要

The document identifies and schedules implementation of management actions thatare more specific than those identified in Fish and Wildlife 2000. It fits under Bureau of Land Management (BLM)'s ecosystem/biodiversity management umbrella and is part of new philosophy, a fundamental change in the management of the public lands and their resources. This plan provides the strategies. Past management actions and activities were developed to provide guidance for mountain sheep ecosystem management as it was addressed in individual BLM Land Use Plans (LUPs) such as Resource Management Plans (RMPs) and subsequent activity plans such as Habitat Management Plans (HMPs). The goals of this plan, when implemented, will provide better knowledge and a process by which this knowledge can be utilized in the land management decision-making process.
