  1. Projected Benefits of Regional Gap Analysis in Support of State Wildlife Agency Development of Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies Donald L.

  4. What Are: Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies ? The Purpose of the Strategy is to provide direction for wildlife conservation at a State level with a focus on species with the greatest conservation need. The Strategy should consider the broad range of wildlife in each State and their associatedhabitats within the ecosystem. 8 Elements are Required to be Contained within the State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies. Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology

  5. Guidance for Strategy Development Congress provided the States with a description of the 8 elements required to be included in Strategies. The Elements are: • Information on the distribution / abundance of wildlife • Descriptions of locations/condition of key habitat • Description of problems and research/survey needs • Description of the conservation actions proposed • Plans for monitoring species and habitats • Descriptions of procedures to revise the Plan • Plans for coordinating the development, implementation, • and revision of the Plan • - Procedures for gaining public input Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology

  6. Creation of the Strategies The State Fish and Wildlife Agency has the lead under direction from Congress Agencies and organizations with common or related goals for species in need or their habitats are approached to be partners Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology

  7. What Distinguishes Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies from All Other Plans ? Addresses a broad range of fish and wildlife species (aquatic and terrestrial) and associated habitats across jurisdictions within a State Combines landscape/ecosystem/habitat-based approaches and smaller-scale approaches in collaboration with a variety of partners to sustain wildlife populations and their habitats Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology

  8. A Landscape Perspective of Model Outputs from IndependentState GAP Efforts • Arizona models - • show pseudo-polygons • Colorado models – • show embedded ‘status’ • Idaho models - • show hex ‘artifacts • New Mexico, Utah models • show ‘binary’ models • Other States’ models – • may not be complete, or • species may not occur there Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology

  37. “Taking the Hint” “Make full and effective use of relevant existing information; in particular, integrate appropriate elements of other plans and initiatives (such as Partners-in-Flight and the many regional and other plans), databases, GISlayers, records, reports, other information sources, and managementinformation systems that overlap or complement Strategies.” Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology
