  1. “Rising to the Challenge – Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change” • Adaptation – management actions to help fish and wildlife and their habitats adapt to climate change, using a Strategic Habitat Conservation Framework • Mitigation: Reducing our carbon footprint, implementing carbon sequestration • Engagement: Reaching out to employees, and partners to seek solutions for climate change threats to fish and wildlife conservation Three Key Strategies

  2. 5-Year Action Plan for Implementing the Climate Change Strategic Plan • Specific actions we will take from 2009-2013 to implement the goals and objectives in the Strategic Plan • One Example: Build regional and field technical capacity through partnerships called Landscape Conservation Cooperatives. • The LCC’s will be the primary means for obtaining and applying the best climate change science to conservation delivery on the ground

  3. Acquire best available science Monitor progress, track success. Adapt delivery as needed = adaptive management Strategic Habitat Conservationa framework of science based conservation, emphasizing an adaptive management loop ID strategies to achieve goals, Design a Plan NWRS – Manage and protect habitat and species

  4. Landscape Conservation Cooperatives A national geographic framework upon which the USFWS can work with partners to connect project and site-specific efforts to larger biological goals and outcomes
