Sierra Nevada Network

Reports and Publications

The Inventory and Monitoring Program was created as a coordinated national effort to better understand the complex relationships of the animals, plants, and geography within parks and to "improve park management through greater reliance on scientific knowledge." The scientific knowledge gained from this effort will allow park managers to better protect these vital places and leave them "unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

A primary purpose of this effort is to develop, organize, and make this information available to the public. Below are a number of publications that provide more detailed information on this unprecedented scientific undertaking.
