Following development of economic, ecological, and social criteria and indicators for rangeland assessment, the Rangelands Roundtable (RR) seeks to promote the importance and utility of criteria and indicators to assess rangeland systems relative to emerging issues. The RR also facilitates and encourages cooperation among governmental agencies and other rangeland owners, users, decision-makers and managers. While the RR has not worked internationally, the organization would like to promote opportunities to inform and learn from international rangeland sustainability activities, as appropriate. Examples of RR’s information materials pertaining to criteria and indicators are available below.
