From houses to farms, forests to lakes, strip mines to landfills, we use the land around us in many different ways. But how can we continue to use natural resources without threatening their very existence? By creating working landscapes. Featuring the Loess Hills of Iowa, EXPLORE MORE investigates the current threats to the sustainability of ecosystems and the natural resources they provide; profiles the social, economic, and ecological elements that compose a working landscape; and, details the issues and opinions of stakeholders on the frontlines of this emerging trend.
