The authors address both human and natural factors that lead to forest fragmentation, and they examine the effects these circumstances have on the health of Rocky Mountain forests and on the areas native biodiversity. In addition, Forest Fragmentation in the Southern Rocky Mountains offers a careful assessment of how we can manage forests in the decades to come--ensuring that the rich natural heritage supported by these forests is not compromised--while still using our forests for recreation, solitude, and natural resources.

Picture 2
The frontiers have been explored and crossed. It is probably time we settled down. It is probably time we looked around us instead of looking ahead. We need to know our history in much greater depth.... Plunging into the future through a landscape that had no history, we did both the country and ourselves some harm along with some good. Neither the country nor the society we built out of it can be healthy until we stop the raiding and running, and learn to be quiet part of the time, and acquire the sense not of ownership but of belonging.
