Abstract
• Droughts have varied impacts on social and ecological rangeland systems in the Northern Rockies region of the United States. • We used a participatory methodology, grounded in local conditions and including multiple stakeholder groups, to create visions for increased drought resilience. • Visions for increased drought resilience were focused on three themes: sustaining ranching livelihoods, supporting functioning ecosystems, and building social connections. • Participatory research suggests drought interventions must consider the local context of resources and vulnerabilities in order to enact sustainable and acceptable future change.
