In May 2014, the GNLCC Steering Committee approved two pilot projects explore approaches to landscape-scale coordination to enhance science-based management across the GNLCC. The two ‘Shared Landscape Outcomes’ pilots were designed to assess and focus on specific pairs of a GNLCC Goal and a priority landscape stressor (as defined in the Strategic Conservation Framework) and focus the approach at the entire GNLCC scale. The two pilot projects focused on (1) the Connectivity goal and Land Use Change stressor (described here) and (2) the Aquatic Integrity goal and Invasives stressor and (see: https://www.fws.gov/science/catalog )Connectivity Pilot:Wildlife species are becoming increasingly isolated in patches of habitat,...

The Great Northern LCC Steering Committee met in Waterton in May 2014 and selected connectivity as a priority shared landscape objective and decided to support this Ecological Connectivity Prioritization Pilot Project. Connectivity is the second of the GNLCC’s four strategic goals: Conserve a permeable landscape with connectivity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, including species movement, genetic connectivity, migration, dispersal, life history, and biophysical processes. This goal is impacted by the threats of conflicting land use and development and climate change and is a goal that requires a large collaborative effort. This report is prelimenary. It summarizes work done on this project over the past...

In May 2014, the GNLCC Steering Committee approved a pilot project to coordinate science-based management across the GNLCC on the connectivity goal. In this second year, we propose to (1) expand the information in the connectivity data atlas developed in year 1 (to refine existing information and incorporate avian connectivity, aquatic connectivity, connectivity for ecosystem processes, and additional landscape stressors, including climate change); (2) conduct regional workshops to refine the connectivity implementation strategy developed in year 1 and explore actions for climate change adaptation; and (3) follow up on actions identified at the April 2015 managers workshop and approved by the GNLCC Steering Committee.

Funding supports a multiyear initiative entitled Crown of the Continent Landscapes Analysis/Ecological Indicators Project. The work is designed to focus on issues on transboundary data integration and synthesis, habitatconnectivity analysis for grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) and other key wildlife species, and outreach programs aimed at disseminating knowledge, information products, and geospatial tools arising out of this work to the extensive network of Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) and GNLCC collaborators.FY2010Objectives:The monitoring strategy will focus on the development and acquisition of geospatial datasets from remote sensing and other GIS sources designed to track changes in habitats and human footprint...

What – The Advisory Team is proposing two potential management pilot projects that the GNLCC partners could sponsor collaboratively on issues relevant to our goals, at the scale of the GNLCC, and on issues that enhance the GNLCC enterprise while demonstrating its relevance. Why – We expect these pilot projects to increase GNLCC collaborative capacity, build on GNLCC project-level science investments, deepen multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional cooperation, and demonstrate GNLCC relevance to current and broader socio-political-economic realities. How – The Advisory Team is seeking Steering Committee approval to move forward on this initiative, by: • Supporting the development of two pilot projects that will help...
