The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) is developing collaborative management out-comes for three targeted indicators as part of our overall implementation of the Managing for Ecological Integrity Project2. We are strategically focusing on Aquatic Invasive Species Landscape-scale Change, and Climate Change Adaptation, working effectively across jurisdictions; sharing data and utilizing a common science template. Our overall goal is to achieve amplified management out-comes that address these shared conservation threats. Specifically, in the coming year we will advance our management strategies with respect to each of the stressors by; (i) Assimilating on-going work at multiple scales and implement strategic pilot...
Taking action on climate change adaptation in the Crown of the Continent: Developing science-based strategies for a shared landscape
The Crown of the Continent Landscape Analysis/Ecological Indicators Project is focused on issues of (i) landscape-scale transboundary GIS data acquisition, integration, and synthesis across the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem; (ii) the production of large-area habitat and connectivity models for select wildlife species that are key indicators of terrestrial and aquatic integrity; and (iii) the dissemination of knowledge, data products, and geospatial tools to managers and collaborators through data portals and outreach programs designed to support effective conservation delivery. Specific activities this year will involve (i) the development of CCE-wide models of grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), wolverine (Gulo gulo),...
The Crown Managers Partnership is developing a monitoring program that is intended to support the long-term health of the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE) and provide a scientifically credible foundation for managers to engage in natural resource protection activities. The monitoring strategy will focus on the development and acquisition of geospatial datasets from remote sensing and other GIS sources designed to track changes in habitats and human footprint consistently and reliably across the CCE. This information can then: be evaluated against the range of climate scenarios for the CCE monitor impacts and vulnerabilities in the face of climate change and assist managers with determining and implementing...
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) is linking managers, researchers, conservation organizations and regional partnerships to implement a suite of coordinated climate adaptation projects across the transboundary Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE). We are proposing to coordinate and implement separate jurisdictional actions that align to contribute to landscape-­‐scale out-­‐comes. Our Climate Change Adaptation Targets include native salmonids, aquatic invasive species (AIS), terrestrial invasive weeds and whitebark pine. Together with its partners, the CMP is using GNLCC-­‐supported science and Rocky Mountain Partner Forum (RMPF) decision-­‐support tools to identify and prioritize climate change adaptation...
The Crown of the Continent Ecosystem,with Glacier National Park, Montana,and Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, at its center, is one of North America’s most remarkable landscapes. Here, where open prairies meet the Rocky Mountains, some of the world’s most pristine freshwater ecosystems remain intact. Many North American watersheds originate in the Crown’s 28,000 square miles (72,000 km2), contributing to life-sustaining resources throughout much of North America. Access to cold, clean water supports ranching, farming, recreation, and wildlife in the Crown. Without abundant clean water, quality of life in the region would be severely diminished, making aquatic invasive species one of the greatest threats to...
This report documents the data-discovery and assessment of the available GIS datasets for the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE), and is part of an on-going collaborative project between the National Parks Service (NPS) Rocky Mountain Network (ROMN), the University of Calgary (UofC), the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC), and the Crown Managers Partnership (CMP).The information contained in this report details the input data layers used to develop all of the c2000 baseline data
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) proposes to utilize our Landscape Analysis data, corresponding geospatial ecological metrics, and our collaborative management constituency to address invasive species, land use change, and subsequent impacts to targeted transboundary species within the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE)1. In the coming year, we propose to take a crucial step with our Landscape Analysis and utilize the synthesized geo-spatial data for two distinct objectives; i) Develop coordinated cross-jurisdictional management outcomes for a suite of transboundary species using occupancy and abundance models for grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), wolverine (Gulo gulo), cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), and bull...
In January of 2014 over 40 stakeholders in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem (CCE) came together for a workshop with the objective of understanding landscape measures and indicators that are important in the CCE, and to initiate a discussion about collaborative management action. One of the outcomes of this workshop was a request by the managers for a tool that could be used to understand, monitor, and manage the impact of human use on the landscape. The work presented here is an initial attempt to measure, map and model human modification in the CCE. Using many of the publically available baseline datalayers assembled by the CMP (https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/55198320e4b032384278316f), we created...
Taking Action on Climate Change Adaptation: Piloting Adaptation Strategies to Reduce Vulnerability and Increase Resilience for Native Salmonids in the Crown of the Continent Ecosystem
We are requesting funding to support one year of a multi‐year initiative entitled Crown of the Continent Landscapes Analysis/Ecological Indicators Project1. The work is designed to focus on issues on transboundary data integration and synthesis, habitat‐connectivity analysis for grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) and other key wildlife species, and outreach programs aimed at disseminating knowledge, information products, and geospatial tools arising out of this work to the extensive network of Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) and GNLCC collaborators.
Multi-species functional connectivity modelling approach using a suite of hypothetical, but realistic, species to look at the synoptic patters of connectivity for species across the CCE. These models use the resistant kernel modelling approach to understand the migration rates for each species at every location in the Crown of the Continent. By providing a comprehensive look at connectivity over the CCE, this work offers managers important information on the ecology of the region needed to make collaborative and appropriate management decisions.
