We must enhance the effectiveness ofland stewardship and management
of the world's natural resources to meet a growing global
population's need for conservation, sustainable development, and
use of land, water, and other natural resources. Ecosystem-based,
mul tiple-use land stewardship is necessary when considering the
present and future uses ofland, water, and other natural resources
on an operationally efficient scale. We need holistically planned
and carefully implemented watershed management practices, projects,
and pro grams to accommodate the increasing demand for commodities
and amenities, clear water, open space, and uncluttered landscapes.
An international conference in Tucson, Arizona, from March 13 to
16, 2000, examined these needs and increased people's awareness of
the contributions that ecosystem-based, multiple-use watershed
management can make to future land stewardship. The conference was
sponsored by the School of Renewable Natural Resources, University
of Arizona; the College of Agriculture, University of Arizona; the
Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service; the Research
Center for Conservation of Water Resources and Disaster Pre
vention, National Chung-Hsing University, Taiwan; the Department of
Forest Resources, University of Minnesota; the Center for
Integrated Natural Resources and Agriculture Man agement,
University of Minnesota; the Centro de Investigaciones Biologicas
del Noreste, Mexico; the International Arid Lands Consortium; the
USDA Natural Resources Conserva tion Service; the Bureau of Land
Management of the Department of the Interior; the Salt River
Project, Phoenix, Arizona; the Southern Arizona Chapter,
Southwestern Section of the Society of American Foresters; and
IUFRO Working Party 8. 04. 04, Erosion Control by Watershed
Management."
