Abstract
Low-density rural residential or exurban development is transforming wilderness landscapes by affecting species and ecological processes within adjacent protected areas. In this book chapter, we use case studies from the Adirondack Park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to demonstrate the land management and governance challenges facing local communities in and around internationally-renown protected areas. We highlight how these transforming communities meet diverse needs and competing interests and how partnering with a non-governmental organization benefits local governance issues.
