Conclusion
This Conservation Framework has grown out of a concerted effort to work toward a conservation vision of the BRBNA – a vision based upon good science, inclusiveness of all stakeholders, and the collaboration and voluntary participation of the members of the Partnership.  The hope is that this work will be greatly enhanced through the implementation of the Framework and the increasing opportunities for conservation measures it recognizes and promotes.  As one of California's most biologically significant landscapes, the BRBNA presents both a challenge and an extraordinary opportunity for coordinated public/private conservation programs.  Involvement of the broad array of interests – from landowners to policy-makers, from hunters to environmentalists – will determine our ability to resist the growing threats posed by population growth and development.  This Framework is intended to be a tool that we can all use as we coordinate our efforts to make the Blue Ridge Berryessa Natural Area vision a reality.
