What is Environmental DNA?DNA, short for deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in organisms that contains the biological instructions for building and maintaining them. The chemical structure of DNA is the same for all organisms, but differences exist in the order of the DNA building blocks, known as base pairs. Unique sequences of base pairs, particularly repeating patterns, provide a means to identify species, populations, and even individuals.Environmental DNA (eDNA) is nuclear or mitochondrial DNA that is released from an organism into the environment. Sources of eDNA include secreted feces, mucous, and gametes; shed skin and hair; and carcasses. eDNA can be detected in cellular or extracellular...

Proposal narrative and preliminary fact sheet for this project to improve the practice of prairie reconstruction by developing criteria by which success can be measured and related to reconstruction methodology. To accomplish this goal, the project will utilize past reconstruction efforts and records for two of the largest tallgrass prairie reconstructions in North America, Neal Smith National wildlife Refuge near Des Moines, Iowa and Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge near Crookston, Minnesota. The extensive size, prolonged timeline, and records of seeding practices and site management that were kept for the reconstructions at these two refuges provide an ideal resource for evaluating which factors best predict...

The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) is designed to provide up to 10 years of funding to selected initiatives that will implement a landscape strategy to address the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire, restore ecosystems to pre-fire suppression conditions, improve fish and wildlife habitat, improve watersheds, and reduce invasive species. As such, it provides a tremendous opportunity to look collaboratively at a landscape and ask what can be accomplished relative to the CFLRP objectives over a 10 year timeframe. While actual project selection and decisions are the responsibility of the U.S. Forest Service, building a collaborative vision of what can be accomplished and where it might occur...

For ALI partners to promote connectivity between the Yakima Training Center and Hanford Reach core areas, we must first engage a diverse network of land owners, many of whom have not been involved in the connectivity prioritization process. To begin to build these relationships, we are initiating a community listening forum with local land owners, community groups, land managers and conservation groups with the intent of learning from each other’s expertise and unique perspectives. Our goals are to:•Work towards a shared understanding of how ecological and human well-being may be impacted by various climate change scenarios and fire risk in particular.•Identify areas of common concern and consensus actions we can...

The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation are a diverse people from many areas. We are the Kah-miltpah, Oche- Chotes, Palouse, Wenatchapam, Klickitat, Pesquose, See-ap-Cat, Yakama, Klinquit, Shyiks, Sk’in-pah, Kow-was-say-ee, Li-ay-was, and Wish-ham. Our tribes are strong and resilient people. We have lived on these lands for countless generations, from time immemorial. We will continue to flourish on our homelands for countless generations to come. This document is an acknowledgment that climate change is real and that it poses a threat to our grandchildren, our culture, and our way of living. This document represents the first collective effort by our many governmental departments and programs to...

We will develop an approach to identify fire refugia in Rocky Mountain ecosystems of the U.S. and Canada then test the function of refugia for biodiversity conservation under current and future climate/fire scenarios. Our products will be designed to inform decision-making in land/easement acquisition, identification of critical areas for maintaining landscape and process connectivity/permeability, and extension of the temporal context for spatial conservation decision making. The approach will be testable for transferability to other locations and ecosystems.

Sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the United States currently occur on only about one-half of their historical land area because of changes in land use, urban growth, and degradation of land, including invasions of non-native plants. The existence of many animal species depends on the existence of sagebrush steppe habitat. The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) is a landscape-dependent bird that requires intact habitat and combinations of sagebrush and perennial grasses to exist. In addition, other sagebrush-obligate animals also have similar requirements and restoration of landscapes for greater sage-grouse also will benefit these animals. Once sagebrush lands are degraded, they may require restoration...

The Southeast Blueprint 2022 Development Process is a final report that explains in detail how this version of the Blueprint was created. It combines the metadata available on the Blueprint page of the SECAS Atlas for the indicators, combined Zonation results, hubs and corridors, and final Blueprint priorities. It is intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to the Southeast Blueprint data sources and methodology that could enable an interested reader to reproduce the Blueprint independently.

Advancing land and resource conservation in the Rocky Mountains requires bringing together the wealth of existing organizations, partnerships, universities, and individuals. By joining together, conservation practitioners can identify and advance common priorities, develop strategies and gain efficiencies in addressing landscape stressors such as climate change,invasive species and land development, and understand the eco-­â€geographic context of local management activities and decisions on regional outcomes. Partnerships are needed to identify andprioritize research and science needs and conservation actions, bridge the gap between science and land management actions, and improve capacity by coordinating conservation...

The Okanagan-Kettle subregion straddles the Canada–USA border between the Cascade Range on the west and the Monashee Mountains and Kettle Range to the east. It has been identified as a key area for maintenance and restoration of north–south and east–west wildlife habitat connectivity. At the northern extent of the shrub-steppe communities of the Columbia Plateau Ecoregion and Great Basin, it is an important area for north–south movement of shrub-steppe habitats and species; and as the central area between two major mountain ranges, it is important for maintaining movement of large carnivores and their prey.The analysis and connectivity maps we present in this report build on previous work by the Washington Wildlife...

After each survey, camera memory cards are downloaded and organized into folders by YEAR, SURVEY, CAMERA, BATCH, PHOTO#. Then, files are renamed to give every file in every survey and every year a unique name. Naming convention consists of: survey name, survey year, month and day, survey number, camera number, batch number, photo number. Thus, all photo names will follow the convention: STO18_1004_S1C1B1_0237.JPG which in this case = STEI Overhead in 2018, Month & Day, Survey#, Camera#, Batch#, Image#. These file names are entered into a spreadsheet along with other variables in preparation for analysis.As photos are analyzed by various observers, different subsets of photos are placed in separate folders for observers...

The Southeast Blueprint User Guide is a resource to help conservation professionals use the Blueprint to bring in new resources and inform decision-making. It compiles different examples of real Blueprint uses to provide new ideas about how to connect to this larger strategy. It showcases the approaches, wording, and maps that Blueprint staff have found to work best in different situations. It showcases a range of case studies, grouped into a few themes that summarize the primary ways people have used the Blueprint.
