Resumen

Ecosystem management is a recent policy alternative propsed to address a new generation of environmental issues. At least 18 federal agencies currently are exploring the concept of ecosystem management and its implications for their activities. Each of the major regulatory, land and natural resource management agencies has drafted policy guidance regarding ecosystem management.

This paper addresses two questions: What is ecosystem management? Will ecosystem management endure as a land and resource management policy?
