- W2103643840 abstract "Science is an appropriate and necessary use of wilder- ness. The long-term protection of wilderness, including decisions related to the planning and management of wilderness resources, use and values, requires an understanding often available only through scientific investigation. In addition, wilderness provides opportunities for scientific understanding not available in other, less protected areas. Yet the acquisition of scientific information often requires activities that affect wilderness resources and values. Decisions about what scientific activities are appropriate and nec- essary in wilderness require consideration of apparently conflicting mandates, as well as the balancing of the benefits and impacts of proposed actions. Improved communication and cooperation be- tween wilderness managers and scientists is necessary to assure the best possible science with the minimum possible impact. The approval and conduct of scientific activities (research, monitoring and inventory) in wilderness present challenges to both managers and scientists. Despite wide recognition of the value of science, concern over the appropriateness and impacts of scientific activities have resulted in the denial of many proposals to work in wilderness. As a result, some scientists perceive wilderness managers as unable (unwill- ing?) to objectively consider the benefits of a proposed study beyond the narrow needs of the local area. Perceptions of a lack of management interest or understanding of science have led some scientists to avoid working in wilderness. Managers, in turn, become frustrated by a perceived inabil- ity (or unwillingness?) of some scientists to understand the philosophical basis of wilderness management and the sig- nificance of the impacts their activities may cause. Some scientists consider their research so important that they can't understand why it might not be appropriate or accept- able, even in wilderness. All too often, the result has been the avoidance of wilderness by scientists (Franklin 1987), re- sulting in less than adequate information and, ultimately, lost opportunities for both science and wilderness. Concerns about the conduct of science in wilderness most frequently focus on the biophysical, social and aesthetic impacts of scientific activities, including the use of motor- ized equipment (Parsons and Graber 1991). Examples of the many potential impacts of scientific activities are presented in table 1. These include visual as well as physical and ecological impacts; impacts to individual perceptions of wilderness as well as to ecosystem elements and processes. These are the impacts that frequently lead to denial of research permits, in turn feeding scientists' perceptions that management neither understands nor supports the impor- tance of science. This paper considers the values of science to wilderness as well as the values of wilderness to science. Relevant legisla- tion and policy as well as scientific understanding of the value of studying wild systems are reviewed. Concerns over the impacts of conducting science in wilderness are also considered. The dilemma of how to balance the scientific values of wilderness with concerns over the impacts of science is discussed, and suggestions are made on how to maximize scientific benefits while assuring the continued integrity of wilderness." @default.
