Select indicators
from these scenarios told us that some of the biggest drivers of
change are:
1. The human population
will more than double in the next half century. So will the infrastructure.
2. The current emphasis on rural residential lifestyles is leading
to a rapid loss of natural landscape and, from the perspective of
infrastructure is expensive to build and maintain. Who will pay
for this infrastructure?
3. Increases in the human population and attendant road and culvert
networks will lead to significant declines in quality and quantity
of habitat for Coho, brown bear, and moose.
4. Climate change is projected to lead to a gradual, though significant
change in landscape composition on the Peninsula
