Interestingly, some scientists believe that there is insufficient ecological knowledge to make recommendations about the management of natural resources, whereas others believe that ecologists are uniquely qualified to make these recommendations. Of course, decisions about natural resources must be made – the demands of an increasingly large
and diverse society necessitate effective management – so it seems appropriate to apply relevant ecological knowledge to these decisions. However,ecologists generally have no expertise in the political, sociological, or managerial aspects of resource management, and they are rarely affected directly by decisions about land management. Thus, ecologists are not necessarily accountable or responsible land stewards. Conversely, managers are ultimately accountable and responsible for their actions, so they should exploit relevant ecological information as one component of the decision-making process. Ultimately, management decisions should be made by managers most familiar with individual systems.
