Ecological Governance

The Ecological Governance initiative is being developed in concert with our Regional Survival Strategies work. It is an attempt to allow broad participation in decisions which require specialization. This work will begin by adapting processes from extant environmental law frameworks, such as the consultative process in the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires experts to formulate a number of alternatives for subsistence and human-ecosystem interactions, present them to the public, and modify them based on feedback.
