5. So What is Rangeland Management
The careful use and stewardship of rangelands to meet the needs of those who live on and care about these lands (Rangelands an Introduction to Wild Open Spaces)

7. So what is your world view?
2)Rangelands primary use is for saleable products. Our goal is to maximize economical output. This sometimes looks like making ends meet.
1)Emphasize protecting large areas of land (from mining, timber, grazing and development)for current & future generations to enjoy
3)Protect our resources from degradation but we can still benefit from their resources & maintain multiple uses for future generation

8. So what is your world view?
1)Preservationist Emphasize protecting large areas of land (from mining, timber, grazing and development)for current & future generations to enjoy John Muir & Aldo Leopold
