Abstract
The concept of “resilience” is now frequently invoked by natural resource agencies in the United States. This reflects growing trends within ecology, conservation biology, and other disciplines acknowledging that social-ecological systems require management approaches recognizing their complexity and adaptive capacity. This paper examines the concept of resilience and the ways in which current legal and regulatory frameworks governing federal land management agencies, which tend to reflect assumptions of stationarity, have difficulty accommodating it. It then makes a few observations regarding how agencies are currently conceptualizing resilience in federal natural resource management efforts in the United States.
