Title: BLM's Rapid Ecoregional Assessments (REA) 
Presenter: Elroy Masters, Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Date: September 25th, 2013 at 10 am PST

Currently, two REAs have been completed  within the Deset LCC boundary (Sonoran and Mojave Basin and Range).  REAs covering Madrean Archipelago and Chihuahuan Desert ecoregions were started in FY12.   REA are landscape assessments that look across an ecoregion to gain an understanding of ecological conditions and trends; natural and human influences; and opportunities for resource conservation, restoration, and development. They seek to identify important resource values and patterns of environmental change that may not be evident when managing smaller, local land areas.
