Outdoor recreation is a gateway to the natural world — and, often, to environmental stewardship. (The more time you spend outside, the more you might want to protect it.) But the study of “recreation ecology” shows those pursuits can also have lasting impacts on wildlife, vegetation and soils. How can land managers mitigate the effects and still maintain backcountry access to the wild places people love?e love?

Deep in the backcountry, and far away from cell service , satellite communication devices let users call for help with an emergency “SOS” signal. The resulting dispatch can bring critical help to an injured party, but it can also misdirect resources if someone hits the button on accident (or in a nonemergency situation). Greg Shaffran, vice president of Mountain Rescue Aspen, offers the rescuer’s perspective on an emergency dispatch.
