The Blueprint 2020 Development Process is a final report that explains in detail how the Conservation Blueprint was created. It first provides an overview of the South Atlantic LCC and the Blueprint framework, then combines the metadata available on the Conservation Planning Atlas for all ecosystem maps, ecosystem indicators, ecosystem scores, corridors, and final Blueprint priorities. It is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the Blueprint objectives, data sources, and methodology that could enable an interested reader to reproduce the Blueprint independently.
The South Atlantic/Base Blueprint Changelog is a document tracking what has changed with each version of the South Atlantic/Base Blueprint.

The ALI’s approach to coordinating conservation action starts with integrating the ALI’s shared priorities into partners’ implementation mechanisms, and moving to coordinated action on the ground. This approach includes three main thrusts: 1. Agreeing on where on the landscape to focus each of the six shared strategies, and on which areas and strategies partners are best able to make progress. This thrust will also include identifying stakeholders not currently working with the ALI, to start engaging them in implementation of projects. 2. Integrating the ALI priorities into partners’ existing plans and processes. This thrust also includes helping partners use the science products that underlie the ALI’s...
As the climate changes, human land use may impede species from tracking areas with suitableclimates. Maintaining connectivity between areas of different temperatures could allow organisms to movealong temperature gradients and allow species to continue to occupy the same temperature space as theclimate warms. We used a coarse-filter approach to identify broad corridors for movement between areaswhere human influence is low while simultaneously routing the corridors along present-day spatial gradientsof temperature. We modified a cost–distance algorithm to model these corridors and tested the model withdata on current land-use and climate patterns in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The resultingmaps identified...

Spring has come to the Rockies and with it some recent meetings of collaboratives that are moving landscape conservation forward in the region. In this installment of the Great Northern LLC Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter we have updates on some recent collaborative meetings and the work they are planning for the future. In highlighting these collaboratives we hope to inform, educate, and inspire. This newsletter is only a snapshot of the work being carried out on this landscape. If you are interested in learning more about, or connecting to, any of the featured initiatives we hope that you will reach out to one another. We would also love to feature your work through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum newsletter...
In 2010, TNC scientists focused on projections of how new energy development could impact natural habitats in Pennsylvania to shape strategies that avoid or minimize those impacts.The Pennsylvania Energy Impacts Assessment sought to answer: How much of each energy type might be developed? What transmission infrastructure will be needed to get more electric power and natural gas to consumers? Where are these energy types most likely to be developed? How does the likely scale and location of future energy development overlap with priority conservation areas?By answering these questions, conservationists can work more effectively with energy companies and government agencies to avoid, minimize, or offset habitat impacts...
University of California Riverside’s Center for Conservation Biology will create a sustainable resource monitoring framework that will provide empirical data identifying if and how climate change is changing the composition and vitality of Joshua Tree National Park. These data will then help focus the Park’s resource management programs to help ensure the Park’s rich biodiversity can be sustained to the extent possible. A broader goal is to have this framework adopted across the surrounding public lands to then integrate data from multiple sites and land management philosophies to create an unambiguous picture of the impacts of climate change across the desert region.

Overview: This project represented a partnership between US Geological Survey (USGS) National Geospatial Program, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (on behalf of the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative (DLCC)), and the Center for Geographical Studies (CGS) at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). The project focused on updates and improvements to the high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) through the addition and/or improvement of NHD polygon, line, and point features in effort to fully realize a more robust and accurate NHD for priority areas within the DLCC geography. The work performed was designed to support the science objectives for the DLCC and its partners through the use of an...

Report on advanced technology in mobile rearing to evaluate how different water sources support growth and survival of young freshwater mussels. A mobile aquatic rearing station, or MARS, was deployed along the banks of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin in the summer of 2012 to raise rare and endangered mussel species, including Higgins’ eye pearlymussel, hickorynut, black sandshell and snuffbox. Information gathered will provide a knowledge base for the operation of the trailer moving forward, and will help ultimately optimize rearing techniques in light of expanding natural resource stressors to increase early life stage survival of these ecologically-essential freshwater animals.

The Floodplain Forest Workshop that was held in Dubuque on September 15-17, 2015. The agenda included presentations and discussions regarding floodplain forest issues ranging from system level influences to floodplain forest threats to site level management. The program included a field trip and several breakout sessions including landscape level considerations, factors to consider when writing management prescriptions, identifying specific research needs, and discussing how to best collaborate and communicate moving forward. Products of the workshop included: detailed discussion notes; summary and map of the field trip; list of contacts; and a summary of what has happened since the workshop concluded.
Adaptation Planning Workshop findings were used to generate implementation guides that describe where, when, and how to implement actions, as well as emphasizes adaptation across management boundaries. The guides also provide guidance on the application and integration of the vulnerability assessment and adaptation strategies in management decisionāmaking. Included are four case studies demonstrating the integration of climate adaptation into existing conservation planning and action: Lower Piru Rangelands, Ojai Community Defense Zone, Trabuco Creek Watershed, San Diego River Sage Scrub Restoration.
Refugia have long been studied from paleontological and biogeographical perspectives to understand how populations persisted during past periods of unfavorable climate. Recently, researchers have applied the idea to contemporary landscapes to identify climate change refugia, here defined as areas relatively buffered from contemporary climate change over time that enable persistence of valued physical, ecological, and socio-cultural resources. We differentiate historical and contemporary views, and characterize physical and ecological processes that create and maintain climate change refugia. We then delineate how refugia can fit into existing decision support frameworks for climate adaptation and describe seven...
This is a table describing information on the majority of meadows in Yosemite National Park. This table includes information that was developed by this project, namely columns describing connectivity value based on different predictors and a measure of whether the meadow is a climate change refugium.

The North-central California coast and ocean is a globally significant and extraordinarily productive marine and coastal ecosystem that boasts an array of local, state and federal protected areas and other managed lands. Despite this richness and attention to conservation, this region is still vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council (Council) convened the multi-agency Climate-Smart Adaptation Working Group (Working Group) in response to the need to develop climate-smart adaptation strategies to enable coastal and marine resource managers to respond to, plan, and manage for the impacts of climate change. Working Group members sought to provide...
