OpportunityTitle: Climate Change Performance Indicators
Description: Nevada BLM and Nevada Department of Wildlife share a strong commitment to management activities that sustain and recover viable populations of the state&#191;s desired wildlife and the ecosystems upon which they depend through the Nevada Wildlife Action Plan. The Department of Interior has initiated a major effort to address climate change and its effect on federal trust resources. As part of this effort, BLM is providing partial funding to facilitate the ability of States to work with Heinz Center to identify ecosystems and species vulnerable to climate change as well as develop methods and models to document the effects of climate change. States are charged with revising their Wildlife Action Plans to include climate change. Nevada has completed the first phase of identifying potential species indicators of climate change. This funding is the continuation of this work by examining the performance of these indicators. The Nevada Wildlife Action Plan supports management activities that sustain and recover viable populations of the state&#191;s desired wildlife and the ecosystems upon which they depend.
