Keys to Reserve Management
Once a reserve is established, the job has only begun – 5 major factors must be managed to maintain reserve populations:
1. Human visitors
2. Natural disturbances
3. Water regimes
4.Exotic species and overabundant natives
5.Balancing human needs with reserve needs

Distribution of Mountain Goats
The Olympic Mountain endemics Campanula piperi (bellflower; upper) and Viola flettii (Flett's violet) occupy rock crevices in the subalpine and alpine zones of the
Olympic Mountains. The bellflower is known to be eaten by mountain goats (photos from NPS).

UNEP – REDD+
• Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is an effort to create a financial value for the carbon stored in forests, offering incentives for developing countries to reduce emissions from forested lands and invest in low-carbon paths to sustainable development. “REDD+” goes beyond deforestation and forest degradation, and includes the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.
Key activities that must be monitored and perhaps eliminated in a reserve
• Commercial harvesting of game and fish
• Intensive harvesting of natural plant products
• Logging and farming
• Use and occurrence of fire
• Recreational activities
