5.1 Assignment

Stakeholders

For this assignment, you will take on the role of a land manager and consider the needs of multiple stakeholders of our forests. You will explore the importance of sustainable development while being mindful of ecosystem needs and the plants and animals that call our forests home.

Consider the requests of each of the stakeholders on the chart in Part A of the assignment.

Each of the stakeholders has requested to lease some of the forested land. Your task is to divide the land as reasonably as possible. Each stakeholder may be allocated more or less than their requested amount, or you may allocate them no forested land. You can not change the allocation for those stakeholders already represented on the map.

The map represents 768 hectares of forested land (1 hectare = 1 square on the map).
