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.

Patuxent Wildlife Research Center
-
Welcome to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the nation's first wildlife research station through an Executive Order in 1936. The research and wildlife conservation mission were created as the Patuxent Research Refuge and this relationship continues today as the close partnership between the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. New directions in wildlife science that support adaptive management and structured decision making (SDM) have been developed by Patuxent scientists, and the Center has had a long history of research that supports endangered species recovery. Our vision and mission define our purpose and direction and working with our partners is our approach to ensuring relevant, high quality science supports society’s needs and our role as a Federal research institution.
