Résumé

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. And, federal sector efforts are just one layer of a wider nationwide phenomenon: similar activities are occuring at state and local government levels, as well as within the non-governmental sector. This paper addresses two questions: What is ecosystem management? Will ecosystem management endure as a land and resource management policy?
