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.
North American Grassland ecosystems are a regional priority of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).And in order to implement Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) planning the FWS Grasslands EcosystemTeam (GET) needs to better understand the threat of climate change. Based on survey results of GET’sknowledge and needs, we propose to deliver targeted training to enhance the GETs ability tostrategically address climate issues in conservation planning. To date, the GET has successfullyaddressed other grassland threats (e.g., land conversion) but without this training the GET will behandicapped in their ability to fully integrate climate impacts and adaptation into the grassland SHC.
Northeast Montana represents critical, core breeding habitat for many of our most imperiled grasslandsongbird species. USFWS has been working cross-programmatically and with a broad array of externalpartnerships in this region to maintain and enhance habitat for these species. However, to date we havenot adequately monitored birds response to these interventions to determine if and how much we arebenefiting populations. This project would provide that capability for at least a five-year period.

Grassland habitat losses to woody encroachment iswidespread and ongoing intheSandhills.Many grassland-obligate bird species are not able to use encroached areas, although exact tolerance levels are not known. Long-and short-term effects of woody encroachment removal and control have not yet been determined. More information about the interactions between breeding birds and woody encroachment can help our partnership be more efficient and effective when taking actions intendedto benefit declining species.

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.
