Tool

Wildlife Adaptation Menu

Description

This document offers a collection of adaptation actions relevant to terrestrial wildlife management. It can be used as a stand-alone resource or as a supplement to structured adaptation planning with the Adaptation Workbook process (published in Forest Adaptation Resources: Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers).

Strategies, approaches, and tactics in the Menu were compiled from existing adaptation tools, focus group discussions, and workshops with natural resource professionals. The range of strategies serve as stepping stones to help natural resource managers and planners translate broad concepts into targeted and specific actions (tactics) for putting climate change adaptation into practice.

This presentation by authors of the report will describe the development of the Wildlife Adaptation Menu and highlight real-world examples in which managers have used the menu to integrate climate adaptation considerations into wildlife management and conservation projects.
