Sustaining Wildlands: Integrating Science and Community in Prince William Sound
Editat de Aaron J. Poe, Randy Gimbletten Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2017
When
the
Exxon
Valdez
oil
tanker
ran
aground
on
Bligh
Reef
in
Alaska
in
1989
and
spilled
11
million
gallons
of
oil,
it
changed
Prince
William
Sound
forever.
The
catastrophe
disrupted
the
region’s
biological
system,
killing
countless
animals
and
poisoning
habitats
that
to
this
day
no
longer
support
some
of
the
local
species.
The
effects
have
also
profoundly
altered
the
way
people
use
this
region.
Nearly three decades later, changes in recreation use run counter to what was initially expected. Instead of avoiding Prince William Sound, tourists and visitors flock there. Economic revitalization efforts have resulted in increased wilderness access as new commercial enterprises offer nature tourism in remote bays and fjords. This increased visitation has caused concerns that the wilderness may again be threatened—not by oil but rather by the very humans seeking those wilderness experiences.
InSustaining Wildlands, scientists and managers, along with local community residents, address what has come to be a central paradox in public lands management: the need to accommodate increasing human use while reducing the environmental impact of those activities. This volume draws on diverse efforts and perspectives to dissect this paradox, offering an alternative approach where human use is central to sustaining wildlands and recovering a damaged ecosystem like Prince William Sound.

“Poe
and
Gimblett’s
beautiful
presentation
of
social
science
as
a
critical
component
of
public
land
management
is
spot-on.
The
world’s
7.5
billion
heartbeats
put
serious
pressure
on
our
wildlands.”—Abigail

“Provides a solid case study of an important region of the United States and an integrated set of readings on how local interests can be incorporated into landscape-level planning.”—Robert Lilieholm, E. L. Giddings Professor of Forest Policy and CRSF Program Leader, Conservation Lands and Public Values, University of Maine

Descriere
Twenty-eight
scientists
and
managers
and
thirteen
local
community
residents
address
what
has
come
to
be
a
central
paradox
in
public
lands
management:
the
need
to
accommodate
increasing
human
use
while
reducing
the
environmental
impact
of
those
activities.
This
volume
draws
on
diverse
efforts
and
perspectives
to
dissect
this
paradox,
offering
an
alternative
approach
where
human
use
is
central
to
sustaining
wildlands
and
recovering
a
damaged
ecosystem
like
Prince
William
Sound.
