Given what you have learned this quarter (from assigned materials, discussion blogs, and your research), identify the main challenges and opportunities in addressing environmental policy problems. Select at least three of the issue areas (rangeland/forest management, energy, mining, wildlife, etc.) described by Steel, et al. concerning public lands management. Summarize each issue (1-2 paragraphs) and describe their similarities and differences. Explain how the challenges and opportunities you’ve described above apply in these contexts?
You are expected to reference the assigned readings and to use examples from them to illustrate your arguments. Cite at least one outside source. Papers should be 4-6 pages, double-spaced. This assignment is worth 100 points and due on Monday of Finals Week by 11:59 pm.
