2011 Proposal: Tracking Wetland Changes over Time at Multiple Scales in Bird Conservation Regions 9 and 10
2011 Proposal
Dates
Acquisition
2013-10
Summary
This proposal is to deliver the pilot component of a wetland tracking project initiated by the CIJV in 2010. The wetland trend project will deliver an assessment of wetland trends and develop an approach for tracking wetland trends into the future; this will have relevance to conservation planning throughout transboundary ecological planning units, including Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) 9 and 10, and the Cold Deserts and Western Cordillera Ecoregions (Figure 2). The project is currently in a “scoping” stage, wherein high-level approaches are being developed for wetland tracking in 2-3 regional priority areas of the CIJV. Delivery of the pilot projects will support wider implementation of the tracking project as well as validating [...]

The project is currently in a “scoping” stage, wherein high-level approaches are being developed for wetland tracking in 2-3 regional priority areas of the CIJV. Delivery of the pilot projects will support wider implementation of the tracking project as well as validating predictive modeling of the long-term effects of climate change throughout BCR 9 and 10 wetlands.
