US Fish and WIldlife Service NCTC Climate Change - Climate Change Resources
The NCTC Climate Change Resource Library provides selected citations to peer-reviewed journal articles, documents, books, theses, presentations, and Websites on the effect of climate change on North American fish, wildlife and habitats.
NCTC Adds Sessions for Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Course
The National Conservation Training Center is scheduling several additional sessions of the new three-day Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment course to help resource managers assess species and habitat vulnerability to climate change.
Wildlife Conservation Society Conservation Challenges - Climate Change
Climate change is arguably the pre-eminent challenge facing the conservation of wildlife and wild places. The WCS North America Program is addressing this challenge to ensure the long-term success of our conservation efforts. Warming has already begun to affect wildlife by shifting species’ ranges, altering the timing of seasonal events, decreasing snowpacks and streamflows, increasing lake and stream water temperatures, and melting glaciers and sea ice. As North America and the rest of the planet continue to warm, the conservation of diminishing water sources will likely become a major focus for local communities and public land managers. Other anticipated changes include the expansion of severe wildfires, increased drought frequency and severity, increased plant and wildlife disease outbreaks and insect infestations, and the degradation of vulnerable habitats, all with major implications for wildlife. There is a growing need for conservation actions now to help offset inevitable changes in landscapes and wildlife populations.
US Fish and WIldlife Service Climate Change Update
Climate Change Update is distributed to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employees and partners by the Office of External Affairs to provide information and news related to the Service's strategic response to accelerating climate change.
Climate Change, Wildlife, and Wildlands Toolkit
The new Climate Change, Wildlife and Wildlands Toolkit for Formal and Informal Educators is an updated and expanded version of the award-winning (2001 Public Relations Society of America Bronze Anvil Award for Interactive Communications and 2002 Telly Award) and very popular (over 40,000 kits distributed in all 50 states and the U.S. territories and over a dozen countries across the world) Climate Change, Wildlife and Wildlands Toolkit for Teachers and Interpreters first published in 2001.
Climate Change Information Toolkit
Here are some tools for communicating about climate change impacts and the Fish and Wildlife Service's strategic response.
National Fish, Wildlife, and Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy
The National Fish, Wildlife, and Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy will provide a unified approach—reflecting shared principles and science-based practices—for reducing the negative impacts of climate change on fish, wildlife, plants, and the natural systems upon which they depend.
The Climate of Conservation in America: 50 Stories in 50 States
A state-by-state look at how accelerating climate change is impacting or may impact fish and wildlife across America. The series provides a snapshot of the broad scope of changes and emerging trends we’re just beginning to understand, as well as collaborative efforts to respond across the nation.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Climate Change Strategy - Rising to the Urgent Challenge: Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service climate change strategy, titled “Rising to the Urgent Challenge: Strategic Plan for Responding to Accelerating Climate Change,” establishes a basic framework within which the Service will work as part of the larger conservation community to help ensure the sustainability of fish, wildlife, plants and habitats in the face of accelerating climate change. The plan is implemented through a dynamic action plan that details specific steps the Service will take during the next five years to implement the Strategic Plan.
Scanning the Conservation Horizon
A new guide released by the National Wildlife Federation and partners offers conservationists and resource managers a way to understand the impact of climate change on species and ecosystems and will support efforts to safeguard these valuable natural resources.
Climate Connections: Questions from North and South Carolina
America has questions about climate change, and the USGS has real answers. In this episode of Climate Connections, USGS scientists answer questions gathered from North and South Carolina.
SAVS: A System for Assessing Vulnerability of Species
RMRS has developed a System for Assessing Vulnerability of Species (SAVS) that quantifies the relative impact of expected climate change effects for terrestrial vertebrate species.
Climate Change Hurts Indian Tribes Disproportionately, Report Finds
North American Indian Tribes are especially harmed by climate change, as more ecological shifts and more frequent, more extreme weather events occur, a new study concludes. Because Tribes are heavily dependent on natural resources, severe weather events like droughts, floods, wildfires, and snowstorms make tribal communities particularly vulnerable and impact American Indians and Alaska Natives more than they impact the general population.
