Successful conservation strategies in the face of climate change will require careful consideration of how changing climate will affect wildlife and habitats. Development of innovative, data driven, accessible tools will assist in understanding and planning for those effects. This document serves the final report for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) project # F11AC00028 that provides tools that enhance the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (and others) climate change toolbox. This project was funded to (1) develop climate envelope models and associated prediction maps for 26 federally threatened and endangered terrestrial (T&E) vertebrate species occurring in peninsular Florida; (2) provide a technical guidebook for use and interpretation of climate envelope models; (3) develop visualization and social networking tools that will allow natural resource managers and the general public to view our models, and (4) create a searchable database of species traits for use in developing vulnerability assessments and other biological planning documents. A summary for each of these deliverables is provided here with links to associated reports, publications, and web pages that provide more detailed information.
