Résumé en anglais
PART 1. ADOPTING A LANDSCAPE APPROACH - Taking a Landscape Approach to Integrating Nature and Culture ///
In the US Great Plains, multigenerational ranching livelihoods and grassland biodiversity are threatened by dynamic and uncertain climatic, economic, and land use processes. Working apart, agricultural and conservation communities face doubtful prospects of reaching their individual goals for multispecies sustainability. This study documents the journey of a group of public lands managers, conservationists, ranchers and researchers re-imagining and practicing a different future for the rangelands of the US Western Great Plains. Formed in 2012, the team manages an experimental cattle ranch on the shortgrass steppe (the Central Plains Experimental Range in Nunn, Colorado) via collaborative adaptive rangeland management (CARM). We examine the processes used for a series of meetings to revise management objectives (2016-2018). We do so through the lens of the nature-culture concept. In the early days of CARM, the team established locally-relevant multifunctional goals and objectives. Revisions to these objectives reveal changes in the team’s conceptual understanding and related practice of rangeland management.We describe and discuss these changes as the beginnings of a new natureculture, based on a sense of place and grounded in hope, emerging from CARM. We consider how these insights can inform broader efforts to create better conservation outcomes within the project and beyond.
