Applying Public Trust Thinking to Wildlife Governance in the United States: Challenges and Potential Solutions

We describe eight broad challenges to comprehensive application of PTT including: increasing authority and capacity; overcoming resistance to change; achieving fair consideration of all public interests; facilitating broad public participation; and fulfilling commitments to fut…
Developing Governance Principles for Public Natural Resources
Wildlife governance principles (WGPs) identify desirable governance characteristics for wildlife conservation in the United States (US).

This raises the possibility that a similar set of governance principles might help natural resource profe…

We argue that states need to gather and incorporate…
