      <![CDATA[Perhaps a little historical perspective would of value. It began before my time but in the 60's there was actually a national concensus or colaboration or compromise and science was introduced to replace politics in the process and the need to do so was glaringly obvious to most.

      <![CDATA[It seems like the groups who are collaborating are trying to do something and make changes in the agencies and government.<br>
It sounds like the folks who feel threatened by his are the same old environmentalists that just bitch and moan and want someone else to make change for them. These are the environmentalists that will have a million comments about what is wrong, but have no articulation about what should be done.

    <description>
      
      <![CDATA[Excellent op-ed exposing the real "collaboration" that is routinely going on is what is happening across our nation: Collaboration advances Corporatization of public lands management. The fact that collaborators are in an excellent position to simply flood the media with the familiar feel-good marketing catch-phrases demonstrates their complicity in this corrupted model.<br>
<br>
When green collaborators collude with their funders to accomplish their narrow goals it makes a mockery of "conservation", and "public process".

      <![CDATA[this was a great piece and speaks to a serious problem that is recurring throughout the country and is a publicly funded boondoggle, whether through direct public foundation spending or through abuse of the tax-exempt system. it costs the public millions directly to fund collaboration, millions more to fund wasteful stewardship projects and millions more in resource damage and lost opportunity costs associated with those "stewardship projects."  thanks george and matt for speaking out.

      <![CDATA[New Research: Who Litigates, Who Collaborates and Why?<br>
By Matthew Koehler<br>
Contributor, A New Century of Forest Planning<br>
<a href="http://ncfp.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/new-research-who-litigates-who-collaborates-and-why/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ncfp.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/new-r&hellip;</a><br>
<br>
A few years ago I received a phone call from from a researcher conducting a study about grassroots environmental organizations’ attitudes and behaviors toward ‘collaboration’ in national forest management.<br>
<br>
Caitlin Burke, Ph.D., with the Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources at North Carolina State University wanted to know about the factors that affect state and local environmental groups’ participation in collaboration, and how that affects representation, diversity, and inclusion in collaborative processes.<br>
<br>
Burke set out by collecting data from eleven western states (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming), conducting a survey of 101 environmental groups that addressed forest-related issues and operated in the study area. The survey gathered information about the organizations and their attitudes and behaviors toward collaboration, to test relationships between organizational characteristics and strategy choice.<br>
<br>
Next, Burke did case study research of four organizations operating in US Forest Service Regions 4 and 6.
