A successful approach to integrating wildlife management into grassland and rangeland conservation in the United States
Since the 1930.s the Natural Resources Conservation Service ( NRCS) has been working with farmers, ranchers, and other land managers to promote conservation of natural resources.NRCS is charged with developing and delivering conservation techniques to landowners for conserving all natural resources while still providing food, fiber and environmental amenities from the land.This paper deals with the relationship of grass and rangelands management to healthy fish and wildlife populations in order to broaden economic income and survival of grazing land operations.Ed Marston, in his chapter on.Why This Book Matters, an epilogue in.Ranching West of the 100th Meridian : Culture, Ecology and Economics (2002 ) says,.The options are laid out here : conservation easements, economic diversification, conservation biology, and the integration of ranching‐as a food producer and protector of biological systems and open land‐into society at large. NRCS.s effort to develop ecological site descriptions ( ESDs) fits well into the decision making process on grazing lands by furnishing scientific information on ecological parameters needed for good decisions.Recognizing the opportunities and challenges in conserving fish and wildlife habitat, NRCS created the Wildlife Habitat Management Institute (WHMI) in 1997 as part of the NRCS National Science and Technology Consortium.It was renamed the Agricultural Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC ) in 2006.
