Paper Summary

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976 guides the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in managing public lands for the benefit of the public. The BLM's role has evolved from being a caretaker to a resource manager, focusing on sustainable use of resources and protection of wilderness areas. This involves using advanced management techniques, involving the public more, and utilizing scientific knowledge to maximize the benefits of public lands.
