Abstract

Productive harmony and ecosystem management were introduced to public land management through law and policy over the last 40 years. Neither has been successfully implemented over large areas. The challenges are complex and varied, but ultimately come down to social and political factors that either have not been considered, or if they have, resolved. Challenges faced by agencies are examined, and a new process proposed that fundamentally tests the status quo, socially, scientifically, and institutionally. It would empower people to find solutions, using science as a foundation, while adhering to principles of good governance. The process may have broader application than just public lands.
