Answers
Answer:
ATTITUDES, BELIEFS,
AND VALUES TOWARD
NATURAL RESOURCES
AND PUBLIC LAND
MANAGEMENT
Explanation:
Because ecosystem management is a human construct, like multiple-use management or other
public land management systems or philosophies,
the decisions on whether and how to implement it
are made in a political arena. The desirability of
different alternatives is a decision normally determined with public input to reflect the values of
the groups involved in the debate over a preferred
alternative. Knowledge of prevailing social attitudes relevant to ecosystem management provides
a basis for evaluating social acceptability and
developing appropriate mitigation. Existing laws,
regulations, and policies reflect prevailing social
views, but may not adequately describe public
sentiments regarding current issues. Finally, surveys that sample populations of interest, such as
the Nation's population-at-large or Basin residents,
provide a context for interpreting frequently expressed demands of special interest groups.
