Land Stewardship Projects

Carrying Capacity

Livestock and wildlife depend on the primary productivity of the land, and developing management strategies that result in improvements in carrying capacity over time is a key objective of land stewardship. Rangelands are dynamic – even in the absence of management action, they change over time, and advancing stewardship demands that we discover the mechanisms of change and harness this knowledge to develop effective management strategies to ensure long-term viability of these systems. 

Outcomes

The recovery of the ocelot largely depends on private landowners and the stewardship of their lands. East Foundation is committed to producing reliable research aimed at making this a reality.
