How can environmental problems be solved when they cross
boundaries and involve diverse people? What kind of leadership and
institutions will bring success? From experience in the greater
Yellowstone region, Susan G. Clark looks at leadership and policy
in managing natural resources. She assesses accomplishments toward
sustainability over the past forty years.
Focusing on The Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee, a
federal group of heads of national parks, national forests, and
national wildlife refuges, Clark identifies fundamental leadership
tasks needed, explains what changes in skill will be required, and
makes many practical recommendations for every leader, citizen, and
group involved with large-scale conservation anywhere
worldwide.

The black-footed ferret, once thought extinct, was rediscovered in
Wyoming in 1981. In this book, Tim Clark tells the story of
subsequent efforts to save the black-footed ferret, showing how it
points up the necessity of finding new ways to conserve and restore
species. According to Clark, the problems facing conservation are
not fundamentally biological but stem from human systems -- policy
decisions, organizational priorities, and professional rivalries.
The focus in conservation, he says, must shift from science to
practical problem solving.Clark first describes and analyzes
efforts to restore the black-footed ferret after 1981 and looks at
the processes, people, institutions, and programs that were
involved in that endeavor. Finding that the ferret case illustrates
many things that go wrong in the implementation of complex
environmental policy, Clark then proposes fresh approaches to
endangered species recovery. He gives guidelines for improving
decisionmaking and development of policies; for devising
organizational strategies and structures that are more conducive to
learning; and for a new civic professionalism that will raise the
standards for performance and better meet society's needs. This
policy-oriented approach, he contends, will open up new avenues,
methods, and hope for species recovery.A very important work that
will be widely read, discussed, and argued. -- Steven J. Bissell,
Colorado Division of WildlifeA valuable contribution to a general
science policy field where clear and sophisticated thinking is
rare. -- Garry D. Brewer, School of Natural Resources and the
Environment, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
