Solutions on the Horizon: Integrated Planning in the 21 st Century Trisha White Defenders of Wildlife

“The long-range transportation plan shall be developed in consultation with State, tribal, and local agencies responsible for land use management, natural resources, environmental protection, conservation and historic preservation.” Section 6001 Transportation Planning

“Consultation under clause (i) shall involve comparison of transportation plans to State and tribal conservation plans or maps, if available, and comparison of transportation plans to inventories of natural or historic resources, if available.” Section 6001 Transportation Planning

“A long-range transportation plan shall include a discussion of potential environmental mitigation activities and potential areas to carry out these activities, including activities that may have the greatest potential to restore and maintain the environmental functions affected by the plan.” Section 6001 Transportation Planning

1. Consultation with resource agencies 2. Comparison with conservation plans, maps 3. Discussion of mitigation activities, areas Section 6001 Transportation Planning

Do you mean we’re required to do that? Do you mean we’re not already doing that? WHAT ?

Game Management

Endangered Species

Land / Habitat

UGH! Resource Agencies: Lack of resources Different constituencies Transportation Agencies: Sophisticated planning process Lack of direction from resource agencies

Established 2001, Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA) Administered by USFWS, to state fish and wildlife agencies Federal funds to state agencies in support of cost-effective conservation, keep wildlife species from becoming endangered SWG projects include restoring degraded habitat, reintroducing native species, developing partnerships with private landowners, monitoring declining species State Wildlife Grants Program

Funds allocated according to formula based on state size and population Fluctuating funding ($65 – 85 million/year) Non-federal match (50/50) Required to complete State Wildlife Action Plan by October 1, 2005

Developed by state fish and wildlife agencies Approved by USFWS Non-federal match (75/25) Prioritize conservation efforts throughout state Reviewed at least every decade Strategic vision for conserving the state’s wildlife, not just a plan for the agency State Wildlife Action Plans

1.Wildlife Status 2.Habitat Status 3.Threats Analysis & Research 4.Prioritized Conservation Actions 5.Monitoring of Status and Actions 6.Plan Review & Update 7.Coordination with Agencies 8.Public Participation State Wildlife Action Plans

What’s in a name? Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plans (CWCP) Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies (CWCS) State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAP) SAME THING

A Plan for ALL the wildlife in a state? Are you crazy? Is this possible? Has anyone ever done this?
