No, we'll go on to talk about the guiding principles we believe should be in place for a national conservation plan.
First of all, we think it's very, very important that a national conservation plan use a three-part decision-making process to determine its goals, something that balances environmental, social, and financial outcomes.
We also believe it will be critical to have a non-linear or holistic response to the conservation of a complex functioning ecosystem. These are very dynamic and complex systems, and a linear approach will not be successful.
We're somewhat familiar with the calculation of cumulative effects. One type of land use has some impact and another type has additional ones. Eventually those all add up, but they haven't all been taken into consideration when we determine whether we should have all of these various land uses. We think that calculating cumulative effects provides the baseline information, which then must be used to balance the three-part goal with all of the elements of the whole.
