Abstract

This report proposes a comprehensive framework for assessing threats to wilderness. The most significant threats to wilderness are recreational use and its management, livestock grazing and management, mining, fire, introduction of exotic species, pollution, and practices on adjacent lands. The threats matrix can help planners and managers describe current management situations, develop assumptions about the future, and assess impacts of alternative management actions.
