A social-ecological impact assessment for public lands management: application of a conceptual and methodological framework

Abstract: ABSTRACT. According to the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), federal action to manipulate habitat for species conservation requires an environmental impact statement, which should integrate natural, physical, economic, and social sciences in planning and decision making.

“…Our analysis revealed a similar theme among public rangelands stakeholders in southwestern Idaho, regardless of stakeholder group affiliation or self-reported identity: open space, clean air, clean water, productive soil, and resilient plants and animals are critical conditions of rangeland agroecosystems that contribute to human well-being. These findings align with scholarship that defines and categorizes ecosystem services (de Groot et al, 2002) and with scholarship on western U.S. rangelandsspecific ecosystem services (Havstad et al, 2007;Brunson, 2014;Huntsinger and Oviedo, 2014;Bentley Brymer et al, 2016).…”

“…The purpose of the workshops was to identify spatial distributions of socio-cultural, economic, and ecological place meanings across Owyhee County and the BOSH project area (Fig. 2), and to assess potential social-ecological impacts from four proposed alternatives for removing juniper (Bentley Brymer et al 2016). The workshops also enabled us to observe stakeholders in a deliberative setting and to assess their discussions for evidence of social learning.…”

“…Owyhee County is comprised of 76% public land (managed mostly by BLM), 517,000 acres of which is designated wilderness (Bentley Brymer et al 2016). Agriculture comprises 26.1% of total Owyhee County employment with two-thirds of that sector as ranching (Bentley Brymer et al 2016).…”
