The State of the Southern Rockies Ecoregion report provides a preliminary examination and layout of the ecological health of the Southern Rockies. The report analyzes whether human uses of land and water resources have resulted in significant ecological changes or biological impoverishment. Specifically, it examines:
The report addresses these issues by examining land use of history, social and economic settings, native biodiversity status, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem conditions, and protected lands and road less areas in the Ecoregion. It also encourages a long-term, landscape-scale framework within which to promote further conservation planning and ecosystem management efforts in the Southern Rockies.
