This mapping project was a collaboration among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and staff from the Arkansas Game and Fish and Natural Heritage Commissions. It provides general information on the potential environmental risk to species of concern and sensitive habitats from proposed wind energy projects in Arkansas. According to the Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines, environmental risks include direct impacts e.g., collisions with turbines and associated infrastructure, habitat loss or degradation from turbines and infrastructure, habitat fragmentation, displacement or behavioral changes, and indirect impacts e.g., reduced nesting and breeding densities and the social ramifications of those reductions,...

In collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Natural Heritage Program, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) developed the Mississippi Solar Siting Tool to provide stakeholders the general guidance necessary to reduce potential adverse impacts to sensitive habitats and species in Mississippi when siting proposed solar energy projects. The purpose of the map is to assist solar energy developers in screening environmentally sensitive areas compared to areas where lower environmental impacts are anticipated. The decision framework is similar to that described in the Service’s 2012 Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines (Land-Based Wind Energy Guidelines), particularly during...
The Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska (QTU), a federally recognized sovereign nation located in the Aleutian Chain, Alaska,relies on a subsistence lifestyle for food security, traditional and cultural values, and economic benefits. However,subsistence foods and public health is currently at risk due to the confirmed detection of the Avian Influenza (HPAI) in redfox and eagles from Unalaska. Given that Alaska has been identified as a point of entry for Asian-origin influenza virusesinto North America, which has resulted in at least one fatality, zoonotic exposure to avian-origin influenza viruses is animportant human health concern. QTU plans to develop a team with tribal, city, Ounalashka Corporation, and state andfederal...

The people of the Lummi Nation are strongly connected to their cultural and traditional foods, including animals, berries, birds, fish, plants, and shellfish that physically and spiritually sustain them as people. Disease spread amongst these important wildlife species is a direct threat to the Lummi Community, their way of life, and their goal to maintain and defend treaty rights, including hunting and fishing within traditional hunting and gathering areas. The Wildlife Division was recently added to the Lummi Natural Resources (LNR) Department with the goal of further defending and protecting treaty rights related to wildlife, hunting, and gathering. In order to properly manage wildlife amongst current and future...

The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is a map of important areas for conservation and restoration across the Southeast and Caribbean. The Blueprint is the primary product of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS). Through SECAS, diverse partners are working together to design and achieve a connected network of lands and waters that supports thriving fish and wildlife populations and improved quality of life for people.
The Midwest Landscape Initiative (MLI) developed a Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) List to provide an effective, collaborative focus and approach for regional wildlife diversity conservation in the Midwest. The Midwest RSGCN effort applied a process initiated in the Northeast, advanced in the Southeast, and refined by the MLI At-Risk Species Working Group, to identify RSGCN for the Midwest. The Midwest RSGCN process evaluated 1,817 SGCN across 13 taxonomic groups and selected 340 as RSGCN. Taxa groups included mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, crayfish, mussels, Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), bumble and solitary bees, Lepidoptera (butterflies, skippers and moths), mayflies,...
Together in partnership with Mississippi State University (MSU) and locally based social scientists, U.S. Fish and WildlifeService (FWS) Southeast Region social scientists will identify and implement methods and tools within the social sciencesto address the most pressing priorities of the region, including enhancing public perception of decisions related tohabitat conservation and threatened, endangered, and at-risk species, effectively engaging historically underservedprivate landowners, and addressing climate change adaptation across the region, particularly in underserved urbancommunities. Social scientists within relevant organizations, institutions, and communities will be engaged as needed todevelop specific...
Healthy ecosystems benefit people, plants, domestic animals, and wildlife in Alabama. Diseases impact agriculture, public health and wildlife conservation. Focusing upon this subject, the Alabama Departments of Agriculture and Industries, Conservation and Natural Resources, and Public Health, together with Auburn University, will form a new coalition to develop a One Health framework to prepare and safeguard against current and emerging infectious disease threats. Our objectives center around enhanced surveillance, prevention, control, applied research, and training on wildlife health issues throughout the state.

The threats and anthropogenic influences on conservation are often global in scale (e.g., climate change, invasive species, etc), however, the relevant decisions and actions to conserve natural areas and ecosystem services occur within unique jurisdictions. Thus, the socio-ecological complexity of these problems requires collaboration across large spatial areas and diverse community interests. However, the interoperability of different planning or decision-support products across decision makers, jurisdictions, and objectives can impede integration and collaboration across space and scale. The objective of the Midwest Conservation Blueprint is to provide a comprehensive framework to coordinate voluntary conservation...

The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is the primary product of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS). It is a living, spatial plan to achieve the SECAS vision of a connected network of lands and waters across the Southeast and Caribbean. The Blueprint is regularly updated to incorporate new data, partner input, and information about on-the-ground conditions.
