Preface-      Environmental framework is a key aspect in creating effective environmental policies.  A more in depth understanding of environmental policy framework can be found on my last blog post, which can be accessed through the link provided below: https://environmentalscience1301madisonlewis.blogspot.com/2020/12/activity-42-environmental-policy.html             On that post is a table composed of my own environmental policy framework that I created, which is also provided below.

 Six-Point Critical Analysis Worksheet 1. Exploratory                                        PFC, proper functioning condition. A term that is relates to the condition and or impairment of riparian climate, or streams and streamside vegetation, on nearly 248 million acres managed by the Bureau of land Management. It’s an important process and manufactures much effort to shift stream flow and water from poor health and stressors on the environment from nonfunctioning to proper functioning condition, and though approaches are mixed, conservation-oriented grazing is a valuable resource in establishing vegetation growth and allowing it to bounce back and recover to a more healthy and sustainable level. 2. Diagnostic                                     Much of the degradation of these ...
