& Vision | |
| |
The
mission of the Rocky Mountains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit
is to improve the scientific base for managing ecosystems in the
rapidly changing social, cultural, and environmental landscape of
the Rocky Mountain Region, and to extend its expertise to national
issues where appropriate. |
|
| | With
rapidly growing and urbanizing populations the Rocky Mountain Region
presents opportunities for innovative and creative resource management
informed by science. The Rocky Mountains CESU brings the best scientific
talent of the region to bear on solving resource problems across
social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental arenas.
It is visualized as a partnership to aid in the development and
transmission of scientific information to land managers through
research, education, and technical assistance. | |
