Reflexiones sobre “¿Que es el Manejo de Ecosistemas?”
Description:
<jats:p>I review 10 dominant themes of ecosystem management described in the paper “What is Ecosystem Management?” (Grumbine 1994a) based on feedback received from managers actively implementing ecosystem management projects in the field. My emphasis is on practical advice from working professionals for working professionals. Key points include the importance of managing for ecological integrity, the need for social as well as scientific data, suggestions for implementing cooperation strategies and conservation partnerships, a pragmatic definition of adaptive management, and first steps toward changing the structure of natural resource organizations. As ecosystem management evolves, the pressure for change within traditional resource management agencies appears to be reaching a critical point.</jats:p>
