The United States Environmental Protection Agency's traditional
role in ecosystem management has been in the areas of regulation and
enforcement of environmental laws. In 1990, the Agency examined this
role over its twenty year history and found numerous
accomplishments.
However, much more needs to be done. In the report "Unfinished
Business", the Agency identified the loss of species and habitat as
areas that needed attention. Today, the Agency is identifying and
defining its role in the area of ecosystem management, specifically,
moving from a "program-driven" to a "place-driven" approach.
