Ongoing and future climate change throughout Alaska has the potential to affect terrestrial ecosystems and the services that they provide to the people of Alaska and the nation. These services include the gathering of food and fiber by Alaskan communities, the importance of ecosystems to recreation, cultural, and spiritual activities of people in Alaska, and the way that land cover and vegetation in ecosystems affect temperature and water flow (runoff, flooding etc.) throughout the state. Assessments of the effects of climate change on these “ecosystem services” have been hindered by a lack of tools (e.g. computer models) capable of forecasting future landscapes in a changing climate while taking into account numerous...

El límite fronterizo entre México y los Estados Unidos actualmente presenta a lo largo del área geográfica barreras (para vehículos y peatones), como medida de seguridad para disminuir la entrada de migrantes indocumentados y estupefacientes. El muro fronterizo ha fragmentado los ecosistemas presentes en la región, pudiendo influir en la pérdida de la conectividad de poblaciones de fauna silvestre entre ambos países. Ante tal situación nuestro objetivo fue identificar las áreas más importantes de conectividad para 19 especies que se distribuyen en la franja fronteriza dentro de los estados de Sonora y Chihuahua y los principales impactos que puede tener la estructura asociada a la frontera. Los sitios de conectividad...

The borderlands of the Chihuahuan Desert, in the Big Bend-Río Bravo (BBRB; the Rio Grande is known as the Río Bravo in Mexico) region, have one of the highest levels of diversity and endemic species among the world’s arid and semiarid ecosystems. This large binational area, comprised by a total of eleven protected areas in Texas, Coahuila, and Chihuahua, offers a unique opportunity for conservation because of its isolation from human settlements and the unfragmented nature of its landscape. Connectivity of habitats in these borderlands is essential to maintain and restore biodiversity, particularly in the face of a changing climate. Private land conservation efforts underway in both countries add an important dimension...

REAs synthesize the best available information about resource conditions and trends within an ecoregion. They highlight and map areas of high ecological value, including important wildlife habitats and corridors, and gauge their potential risks from climate change, wildfires, invasive species, energy development, and urban growth. REAs also map areas that have high energy development potential, and relatively low ecological value, which could be best-suited for siting future energy development. In addition, REAs establish landscape-scale baseline ecological data to gauge the effect and effectiveness of future management actions. The Sonoran Desert REA was initiated in July 2010. It has been completed and peer reviewed...

The Texas Conservation Action Plan's (TCAP) purpose is to provide a statewide "roadmap" for research, restoration, management, and recovery projects addressing Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) and important habitats. SGCN include terrestrial, freshwater, and marine birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, fishes, plants and plant communities. The goal of the plan is ultimately to conserve and improve the status of these species and, as possible, prevent listings under the Endangered Species Act. The Conservation Action Plan has elements for anyone interested in conservation in Texas.

This Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) was written to guide management on Cabeza Prieta NWR for the next 15 years. This plan outlines the Refuge vision and purpose and describes how Cabeza Prieta NWR will contribute to the overall mission of the Refuge System. The plan provides an introduction to the Refuge, an overview of the CCP process, management alternatives, the affected environment, and environmental consequences. Key planning issues include: wildlife and habitat management, endangered species, desert bighorn sheep management, predator management, visitor services, and public use.
