National Fish, Wildlife, & Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy
The purpose of the National Fish, Wildlife and Plants Climate Adaptation Strategy is to inspire and enable natural resource administrators, elected officials, and other decision makers to take action to adapt to a changing climate. Adaptation actions are vital to sustaining the nation’s ecosystems and natural resources — as well as the human uses and values that the natural world provides.
Ecosystem Services and Threats Assessment
Knowing which ecosystem services are provided and who benefits from these services will allow resource managers, scientists, industries, and the public to explore new institutional, market, and policies to encourage protection of and investments in these resources. Objectives of this project are to 1) link the environmental and economic values of the region’s natural assets in a way that establishes a common language for resource managers, scientists, industry, local government and the public to substantively engage in landscape-level conservation planning and 2) to explore different development or management strategies and examine trade-offs to support improved and informed decision-making. A first step in determining the cumulative effects of stressors on Appalachian ecosystem integrity, functionality, and endemic or trust species, is having access to and appreciation of existing knowledge and data. A comprehensive status assessment will be conducted of pre-existing or ongoing work that could contribute to better understanding of individual or cumulative impacts, and further design of a landscape-scale assessment of environmental threats for the Appalachian LCC-defined landscape. The assessment will: (1) summarize existing threat assessment efforts of major stressors—including measures of ecosystems integrity, function, or sustainability, and identification of endemic species or trust species, (2) identify knowledge gaps and/or limitations to existing tools, methodology, and approaches, and (3) through a critical analysis and consultation based on expert-opinion, identify a framework and propose a process to facilitate the AppLCC systematically moving forward on a comprehensive threats assessment.
RFP - Cave and Karst Classification and Mapping
The project will assemble georeferenced data, identify key intermediate (classification) data, and develop supporting science products that depict and map karst habitats and biotic resources across the Appalachian LCC based on the most appropriate method of classification to facilitate landscape-level planning objectives and address conservation and management needs.
Organizing spreadsheet - for April ISC Meeting and Workshop
This file will be updated periodically. Only the MOST RECENT copy will be posted. (Older versions will be replaced. See the date on the file name.)
Illustrative PPT slides (as pdf) on WG (major Objectives)
This set of slides were prepared as an illustrative set to help launch the various Work Groups -- using the near-term Objectives. It is not comprehensive so the more complete WORD files on Objectives and Tasks for each Work Group should be used with the Group planning.

Work Plan Research-related Needs
Elements of the recently adopted 5-‐year Work Plan provide guidance on science needs and project activities that would support the AppLCC Steering Committee’s near-‐term objectives.
Discussion Summary of Top Ranked Science Needs
The Integrated Planning Team recommended 5 Top Ranked Science Needs to the Steering Committee. Each project for science needs is thought to be completed in 12-18 months.

Ohio River Basin FHP Overview and Strategy
This presentation provides a general overview of the ORBFHP. It includes information on the regional partnership's mission, the region in which they are targeting their conservation work, the types of rivers and streams they are focusing on, and the strategies they are using to combat threats to the Basin.
