Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership 2017 Call for Project Proposals: The Ohio River Basin Fish Habitat Partnership is currently accepting proposals to fund on-the-ground, aquatic habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement projects within the Ohio River Basin.

Hierarchy of Actions: (Minute 25:40) - Decrease other stressors (Habitat destruction, invasives, overexploitation) - Monitoring and Management (i.e. warbler moving further north) - In MI southern squirrel moving north and the northern squirrel population is moving further south - Corridors to avoid fragmentation - Prioritize species: Already occurs with funding

Conserving Wildlife in Mountain Ecosystems: Importance of a Broad-scale Perspective

Introduction to Climate Change Adaptation: o Addresses underlying causes of global warming o focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions

NWF: How Restoring Longleaf Pine Can Help Prepare the SE for Global Warming: Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests are one of America’s natural treasures, yet past exploitation has left them hanging by a thread, now covering just 3 percent of their pre-settlement range. Because other pine species in the Southeast may be more susceptible to global warming, longleaf pine forests have an opportunity to reclaim some of their former glory. Indeed, re-establishing longleaf pine ecosystems will benefit all Americans by improving climate resilience, economic opportunity, and ecosystem vitality. This report provides a summary of recent literature on how global warming will affect forests in the Southeastern United States and how longleaf pine is expected to be resilient to many of these changes. It makes a strong case for why longleaf pine ecosystem restoration should be the centerpiece of forest-based climate adaptation and carbon sequestration efforts in the region, as well as efforts to improve the economic opportunities of traditionally underserved landowners.

Sustainable Development: Climate Foundation: The Climate Foundation is dedicated to educating and empowering people to halt global warming in our lifetimes. We are working to moderate and reverse the effects of climate change in critical ecosystems, including; Reversing coral bleaching on high-value coral reefs to preserve portions of these ecosystems during the high-temperature decades to come, Encouraging and facilitating the adoption of renewable energy for electricity and transportation in place of fossil fuels throughout the world, etc.

Impacts: Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, and plant and animal ranges have shifted. Continued changes to Earth's climate could influence agricultural crop yields, affect human health, and impact our energy supply. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment and will continue to impact society in a variety of ways today and tomorrow.
