Great Basin Restoration Initiative
The Great Basin Restoration Initiative (GBRI) includes most of Nevada, the western half of Utah, the lower third of Idaho, the southeast corner of Oregon and a narrow strip of eastern California. The vegetation situation in the Great Basin didn't happen overnight. It has been building for a century.
 The difference between rehabilitation versus restoration is that rehabilitation is a short-term fix aimed at stabilizing the soil after a fire. Restoration is a long-term, landscape-based approach to changing the ecological health of the rangelands.

The GBRI is an umbrella for a number of projects and actions underway to enhance the condition of Nevada's rangelands.
