CONT

In a widely recognized book, Holling (1978) developed the rationale behind "Adaptive Environmental Assessment and Management." This approach is an outgrowth of a recognition of the highly dynamic nature of ecosystems and the need to have policy-makers participate in the design of resource management and impact assessment strategies.

OBS

"Adaptive" is a term used to describe the behavior of many kinds of systems. Originally used mainly to describe individuals ..., it is now also applied to groups and organizations vis-a-vis their environments.
