The BMNRI mission will be achieved through research, development, application, demonstration, and education programs. There are currently 81 partner organizations that have (1) agreed with the mission statement, (2) agreed that cooperation is the key to solving our natural resource problems, and (3) agreed to work together when it is in everyone's best interest. Goals Compile basic biological and ecological information needed to improve forest and rangeland health and vigor. Develop technology to guide intensive multi-resource management and policy for sustaining long-term productivity and ecological values in the early decades of the 21st century. Develop new technology that will enable forest and range managers to emphasize multi-resource benefits, reduce the hazards of fire and insect and disease outbreaks, and accommodate potential climate change. Develop long- and short-term forest management practices for use by land management agencies and landowners in concert with public values. Rapidly convert results of research into applicable technology. Establish mutually beneficial relations with individuals and groups to inform them of new research, development, and management direction, and to obtain responses and advice from them. Stimulate cooperative research and development among universities and other federal and state agencies. Enhance the long-term economic and social benefits derived from the region's forest- and rangeland-associated resources in cooperation with county and regional economic strategies. Demonstrate the application of technology and resource knowledge. Focus research on management for production of multiple resource benefits such as water, fish, grazing, wildlife, timber, and recreation. Provide an unbiased forum for open and objective debate, discussion, and consensus on policy and management issues. Pacific Northwest Section of the Society for Range Management Vision: Properly functioning ecosystems providing for sustainability of watersheds, plants, animals, and people. Mission: Promote ways to maintain or enhance the integrity of the ecological community critical to the watersheds, plants, animals, and people that depend on rangelands for their sustenance. Goals To maintain a high degree of professionalism among the membership through workshops, symposia, written materials, and training sessions. To provide information to the public and rangeland users about the values and management of rangeland resources. To forge relationships with other natural resource-based organizations.

The primary purpose of specialist reports associated with the DEIS is to provide detailed information to assist in the preparation of the DEIS. As the DEIS was prepared, review-driven edits to the broader DEIS resulted in modifications to some of the information contained in some of the specialist reports. As a result, some reports no longer contain information and analysis that was updated through an interdisciplinary review process and is included in the DEIS in its entirety.

  • Regeneration of Soils and Ecosystems: the Opportunity to Prevent Climate Change
    REGENERATION OF SOILS AND ECOSYSTEMS: THE OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT CLIMATE CHANGE. BASIS FOR A NECESSARY CLIMATE AND AGRICULTURAL POLICY. From the International Year of the Soils and Paris COP21 to the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration 2021-2030 SUMMARY We are probably at the most crucial crossroad of Humanity’s history. We are changing the Earth’s climate as a result of accelerated human---made Greenhouse Gases Emissions (GHG) and biodiversity loss, provoking other effects that increase the complexity of the problem and will multiply the speed with which we approach climate chaos1, and social too: --- Climate Change: A Risk Assessment: The report argues that the risks of climate change should be assessed in the same way as risks to national security, financial stability, or public health. (http://www.csap.cam.ac.uk/projects/climate---change---risk--- assessment/). --- “Over---grazing and desertification in the Syrian steppe are the root causes of war” (http://www.theecologist.org/News/news_analysis/2871076/overgrazing_and_des ertification_in_the_syrian_steppe_are_the_root_causes_of_war.html). We explain and justify scientifically the need to give absolute priority to the regeneration of soils and ecosystems. The sustainability concept has driven positive changes but has failed on two levels: it has been easy to manipulate because of its inherent laxness, and because of the fact that since the Earth Summit (Rio de Janeiro, 1992) indicators show much worsening and certainly no improvement. Global emissions increase and soil erosion is every year hitting new negative records. Ecological and agrosystem regeneration necessarily implies a change for the better, a positive attitude and the joy of generating benefits for all living beings, human or not.

  • A Global Strategy for Addressing Climate Change 1
    A Global Strategy for Addressing Global Climate Change by Allan Savory Allan Savory, recipient of the 2003 Australian International Banksia Award for the person or organization doing the most for the environment on a global scale, wrote the book ""Holistic Management: A New Framework for Decision Making" (Island Press 1999) with his wife Jody Butterfield. He is one of the few scientists who have worked on global environmental malfunction for half a century from a holistic point of view, a viewpoint that is now gaining increasing acceptance with the growing awareness of global climate change. In 2010 Savory’s work in Zimbabwe, demonstrating the reversal of desertification using increased livestock, won the Buckminster Fuller Challenge Prize for the strategy offering the most hope for dealing with humanity’s most pressing issues. A Global Strategy for Addressing Climate Change 1 Executive Summary. Introduction A Two-Path Strategy is Essential for Combating Combat Climate Change 1. High Technology Path. This path, based on mainstream reductionist science, is urgent and vital to the development of alternative energy sources to reduce or halt future emissions. 2. Low Technology Path. This path based on the emerging relationship science or holistic world view is vital for resolving the problem of grassland biomass burning, desertification and the safe storage of CO2, (legacy load) of heat trapping gases that already exist in the atmosphere.

  • Holistic Management Case Studies, Profiles and Articles
    Holistic Management Case Studies, Profiles and Articles For many years, large areas of grasslands around the world have been turning into barren deserts. This process, called desertification, is happening at an alarming rate and plays a critical role in many of the world’s most pressing problems, including climate change, drought, famine, poverty and social violence. One major cause of desertification is agriculture – or the production of food and fiber from the world’s land by human beings for human beings. In the past, large wild herds of grass-eating herbivores migrated and were pushed along by predators over the grasslands. These herds grazed, defecated, stomped and salivated as they moved around, building soil and deepening plant roots. Over time, the wild herds were largely replaced by small numbers of domestic, sedentary livestock and populations of predators were mostly destroyed. Without the constant activity of large numbers of cattle, the cycle of biological decay on the grasslands was interrupted and the once-rich soils turned into dry, exposed desert land. Over forty years ago, Allan Savory developed Holistic Management, an approach that helps land managers, farmers, ranchers, environmentalists, policymakers and others understand the relationship between large herds of wild herbivores and the grasslands and develop strategies for managing herds of domestic livestock to mimic those wild herds to heal the grasslands. Holistic Management is successful because it is a cost- effective, highly scalable, and a nature-based solution. It is sustainable because it increases land productivity, livestock stocking rates, and profits. Today, there are successful Holistic Management practitioners spread across the globe, from Canada to Patagonia and from Zimbabwe to Australia to Montana.
