The Chesapeake Watershed Investments for Landscape Defense (Chesapeake WILD) Grants program supports efforts to conserve and enhance wildlife habitats, sustain natural resources and benefit human communities throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Goals: Advancing climate change adaptation and land-use planning by increasing science capacity to support improved strategic planning, conservation design, monitoring and applied science activities necessary to ensure resilience of natural ecosystems and habitats; Increasing capacity and support for coordinated restoration and conservation activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, particularly in historically and systemically under-resourced communities, through outreach,...
US Fish and Wildlife Service Northeast Region Areas of Agreement Map, version 2. Composed of 4 conservation designs: Nature’s Network, NatureServe’s Map of Biodiversity Importance, Esri’s Green Infrastructure, The Nature Conservancy’s Resilient and Connected Networks. Each layer is coded as a 1, so the number of layers is indicative of how many layers overlap in a given area. The concept is that if multiple analyses indicate an area is important for conservation, then it is likely to have a higher importance than other areas. This approach offers a couple of advantages: it is not necessary to “choose” a single conservation design over others, and it narrows down where the most important areas may be for conservation...

National Fish Passage Coordination Map: Public Overview (https://arcg.is/1yCmKT1) This National Fish Passage Coordination Map: Public Overview provides a public facing overview of fish passage survey efforts across the United States. Data displayed in the map includes partner's HUC10 watersheds of survey priority and locations of fish passage surveys. The full version of the National Fish Passage Coordination Map is available to partners and includes layers that aid in prioritization and planning of connectivity projects, see below for more information on map capabilities. To gain full access, use the registration link below and fill out the form to be added to the National Fish Passage Coordination Map AGOL group....
This project is coordinated by the Science Application’s Rapid Response Team. Surveys were initially conducted in 2022 from New Jersey to Florida and west to Louisiana.

In the last 20 years, the North American sagebrush biome has lost over 500 000 ha of intact and largely intact sagebrush plant communities on an annual basis. Much of this loss has been associated with expansion and infilling of invasive annual grasses (IAGs). These species are highly competitive against native perennial grasses in disturbed environments, and create fuel conditions that increase both the likelihood of fire ignition and the ease of wildfire spread across large landscapes. Given the current rate of IAG expansion in both burned and unburned rangelands, we propose a range-wide paradigm shift from opportunistic and reactive management, to a framework that spatially prioritizes maintenance of largely...

"At-risk" means there's still timeHundreds of species in the Northeast Region are at risk of steep population declines and could require the protections of the Endangered Species Act. But “at-risk” means there’s still time.Our region is leading a proactive conservation effort focusing on at-risk species that offer the greatest opportunity for success in the near term — this cross-programmatic collaborative approach leverages expertise, science, and resources to meet our mission of conserving fish, wildlife, and plants for the American people. What's an at-risk species?The Service's Policy Regarding Voluntary Prelisting Conservation Actions defines at-risk species as those that are not currently protected under the...
Delineation of Partners for Fish and Wildlife focus areas was driven by focal species habitats, distributions, core areas, migration patterns, partnerships, and other considerations. With input from internal and external partners, focal species were selected by individual state PFW offices and mostly reflect priority species identified by the FWS Grassland Ecosystem Team and Sagebrush Ecosystem Team. Through private lands conservation, Partners for Fish and Wildlife aims to support a variety of DOI and USFWS regional and national priorities including but not limited to native trout, pollinators, sagebrush ecosystem, grassland nesting migratory birds, and the Prairie Pothole Region.File-based data for download: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/62292acbd34ee0c6b38b891f
