The California
Deserts are vast, harsh yet fragile lands within a day's drive of
40 million people. Approximately 80 percent of the desert, or 25
million acres, is publicly owned and includes two national parks,
one national preserve, six military bases, 72 wilderness areas,
14 state parks and extensive holdings of public lands managed by
the Bureau of Land Management. Conflicting demands for use of California
desert lands make it imperative for governmental agencies to work
cooperatively in support of agency missions, protection of desert
resources, and public use. The DMG was established as the forum
for government agencies to address and discuss issues of common
concern. Through cooperative management each agency achieves greater
operational efficiency, enhances resource protection, and the public
is better served.
