Conservation Plan / Design / Framework
Description:
We will convene a two-‐day workshop with scientists, managers,
conservation practitioners, and others to use the findings of the
vulnerability assessment to inform the development of climate-‐smart
adaptation strategies and actions to conserve priority habitats.
Specifically, we will use the results of the vulnerability assessment
to evaluate whether existing management actions may be vulnerable to
climate change, and identify opportunities to 6 modify existing
actions to reduce vulnerabilities and become more climate-‐smart. We
will then focus on identifying climate-‐smart conservation strategies
and actions that are not currently being implemented, but should be
considered in order to conserve priority habitats. As part of this
activity, adaptation strategies and actions will be evaluated for
feasibility (likelihood of being implemented) and effectiveness
(likelihood of achieving desired results), potential barriers (e.g.,
institutional, social), and linked with corresponding management
operation levels. For example, some adaptation strategies would be
most appropriately implemented at the land management plan level
(e.g., instituting activity restrictions within a certain distance of
riparian areas) whereas others are best implemented at the project or
site-‐specific level (e.g., removing culverts). Adaptation
strategies and actions developed during the workshop will be compiled
into an Adaptation Plan, sent out for expert review, and revised based
on feedback and comments.
