The purpose of this strategic conservation framework is to articulate the rationale, approach, and priorities for the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) that reflects the unique geography and regional natural resource issues. The information presented in this document is summarized from background research on existing landscape initiatives (place-, issue-, or species-based) and other regionally summarized ecological and landscape information relevant to the Great Northern geography. The conservation targets identified in this document are based on research with conservation partners and ongoing landscape-scaled initiatives. We collected and reviewed over 50 documents that may be relevant...
We propose to expand the collaborative, landscape-scale, climate change planning initiated last year to increase management application in the Rocky Mountain region. We will assess and build upon the results of the previous year’s work on climate change adaptation planning for cold-water fish and their habitats by either providing further assistance for implementation, or repeating the planning process for another natural resource priority conservation target (depending on the needs and interests of the partners involved). This project will be implemented through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum as a way to create a learning network through which partners can share information about emerging practices and strategies...
GNLCC Rocky Mountain Partner Forum Climate Change and Cold Water Systems WorkshopWorkshop Summary Report, June 4-5, 2013

Summary The impact of climate change on cold-water ecosystems—and the cold-adapted native salmonids present in these systems—is the subject of a substantial body of research.. Recently, scientists have developed a number of datasets and analyses that provide insight into projections of climate change effects on native salmonid populations in the northern U.S. Rockies region. Alongside this research, a number of management options for helping native salmonids respond to the effects of climate change—also known as ‘climate adaptation’ strategies and actions—have been identified by scientists and managers in the region. These analyses and climate adaptation options offer valuable information to managers charged with...
The Ecological Connectivity Project brings together managers and decision makers to address challenges impacting ecological connectivity throughout the geography of the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative. We encourage those involved with connectivity efforts at any scale to get involved with this project as its success depends on stakeholder engagement from all corners of the Great Northern LCC geography. Please contact us if you have questions or would like to become involved.
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...
We propose to work with the Rocky Mountain Partnership Forum to expand upon the successful approach applied in the first two years of this project to help managers incorporate climate change science into their natural resource management decisions for a new resource of interest that will be chosen by the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum members. This project will be implemented through the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum to share information with and among partners about emerging climate science and strategies for integrating climate change into natural resource management decisions in the region. We will also support the Rocky Mountain Partner Forum Leadership Team as it seeks to formalize the Forum and set directions...
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.

We propose to facilitate collaborative landscape-scale climate change planning among diverse partnerships in the Rocky Mountains sub-region of the GNLCC. By synthesizing and integrating best-available climate science research and creating a sustained engagement process, we will improve our collective understanding of the climate change vulnerabilities of widely valued natural resources in the GNLCC, help managers develop a menu of options for managing those resources as climate changes, and identify priority science needs for incorporating climate change into natural resource management decisions. This project will create a regional forum for organizational learning and sharing about integrating climate change into...
