This report is a synopsis of the findings of a work group assembled to evaluate and define "Livestock Interactions with Upland Game, Nongame, and Waterfowl in the Great Basin." Interactions were assessed on the basis of broad wildlife habitat categories including mesic-riparian, sagebrush-grass, and wetlands. Basic principles of livestock-wildlife interactions on Great Basin rangelands are presented and primary areas of conflict are identified. Management options for improving wildlife habitat conditions are recommended and the ecosystem approach to rangeland management is stressed.
