In this section we will examine the following five ideas across each of the three possible future scenarios:
The three future scenarios are:
|
Plan Trend 2050 represents the expected future landscape if current policies are implemented as written and recent trends continue. |
|
|
|
Development 2050 assumes current land use policies are relaxed and a greater reliance on market-oriented approaches to land and water use. |
|
|
|
|
Conservation 2050 places greater emphasis on ecosystem protection and restoration, although still reflecting a plausible balance between ecological, social, and economic considerations. |
