Over the past century, solutions to natural resources policy issues
have become increasingly complex. Multiple government agencies with
overlapping jurisdictions and differing mandates as well as
multiple interest groups have contributed to gridlock, frequently
preventing solutions in the common interest. Community-based
responses to natural resource problems in the American West have
demonstrated the potential of local initiatives both for finding
common ground on divisive issues and for advancing the common
interest.
The first chapter of this enlightening book diagnoses
contemporary problems of governance in natural resources policy and
in the United States generally, then introduces community-based
initiatives as responses to those problems. The next chapters
examine the range of successes and failures of initiatives in water
management in the Upper Clark Fork River in Montana; wolf recovery
in the northern Rockies; bison management in greater Yellowstone;
and forest policy in northern California. The concluding chapter
considers how to harvest experience from these and other cases,
offering practical suggestions for diverse participants in
community-based initiatives and their supporters, agencies and
interest groups, and researchers and educators.
