Description

Yellowstone National Park looks like a pristine western landscape populated by wild bison, grizzly bears, and wolves. However the bison do not at all times range freely, snowmobile noise intrudes upon the park’s winter silence, and a few tourist villages are positioned in prime grizzly bear habitat. These and other issues―including fires and the New World Mine―were the center of a policy-making controversy involving federal politicians and interested stakeholders. Yet outcomes of the controversies varied considerably, depending on politics, science, how well park managers allied themselves with external interests, and public fascinated by the effects of park proposals on their get admission to and economies. In Protecting Yellowstone Michael J. Yochim examines the main influences upon up to date national park policy making and considers how those influences shaped or constrained the final policy. As well as, Yochim considers how park managers may best work inside the up to date policy-making context to preserve national parks.
