In 2019, I completed with Sharon Masek Lopez Phase 1 of an ecosystem services assessment. This work has proved relevant in providing an understanding of convergent and divergent values for stakeholders on the Coconino Plateau.
My work (Task 1 of Phase 1) focused on stakeholder values. I personally met with 31 stakeholder representatives to identify what environmental issues they thought were most important and what is most vulnerable and at-risk. Sharon compiled a comprehensive bibliography (Task 2 of Phase 1) of the multitude of research that has been done on the Coconino Plateau.
