This report is the third in a series about the Great Basin Restoration Initiative. The first two reports, Great Basin Restoration Initiative : Out of Ashes, An Opportunity (August 1999) explained the threats and ecological status of the Great Basin; and The Great Basin : Healing the Land (April 2000) proposed guiding principles and outlined goals and actions in five key areas to help direct restoration work. Since then, an expanded team representing many disciplines has continued to work on strategies and products to assist restoration work in the Great Basin. The overall effort has become known as the Great Basin Restoration Initiative, or GBRI. But two years after the devastating wildfires of 1999, it's fair to ask some questions about GBRI. What has been accomplished? What is GBRI's funding outlook? How does GBRI tie into the national fire plan, efforts to improve sage grouse habitat, and other related efforts? And what is the support level from management? This report addresses these questions, and provides an overall update on the GBRI effort. After two years, it's time to check in, assess and evaluate. It's time to affirm the direction GBRI is headed, and it's also time to pick up the pace.
