Framework / Assessment Criteria and Indicators of Sustainable Rangeland Management Summary This indicator relates to the intensity of concern over, and pressures for management of, cultural and spiritual resources, which are assets valued by particular groups of people. It is assumed that when spiritual or cultural values are threatened by activities on rangelands, citizens will suffer loss of value from those rangeland uses and may act to protect those values in ways that might decrease the value of other resources (e.g., by restricting livestock grazing or recreation access—either by legislation or regulation).
