Adaptive governance relies on open decision-making processes recognizing multiple interests, community-based initiatives, and an integrative science in addition to traditional science. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCase studies discussed include a program to protect endangered fish in the Colorado River with the active participation of water developers and environmentalists; a district ranger's innovative plan to manage national forestland in northern New Mexico; and how community-based forestry groups are affecting legislative change in Washington, D.C.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRonald D.
