21. What would be useful processes and/or products for “prioritizing strategies”?
Prioritization of strategies (what to do where): restoration, mitigation, protection, working landscapes, and “climate-smart” strategies
Synthesis of existing actions, efforts, strategies across the region?
Mapping of where restoration v protection v climate smart strategies are priorities?
Developing “theories of change” or events chains?

Feedback: what would help
Input

28. Case Studies Why? Criteria: “sub-landscape” or whole area
direct mgt application,
multi-party interest,
across ownership boundaries,
ecosystem-based,
regional issue ( for example, connectivity)
Threat (sea level rise, development, etc)
Conservation & human use

29. Funding Committee Funding received to date: NPLCC $140,000
US Fish and Wildlife Service/NPLCC $200,000
Next grant proposal
OWEB – June $150,000 (Focused Investment Partnership Grant)
Deliverables:
A spatially explicit database that represents the condition of targets across the region.
An integrated condition index for our conservation targets.
An assessment of critical data gaps and data problems that limit the ability to assess condition.
An assessment of human well-being targets and work plan and proposal for a robust assessment.
A prioritization of data gaps and how to fund.
A synthesis of future climate threats for all conservation targets.
A synthesis of future non-climatic threats for all conservation targets.
A process to manage data and associated metadata.
Produce a spatial database of previously identified priority conservation areas.
Complete a spatial prioritization of core areas, along with methodology and metadata to inform alternative scenarios.
Create a web-based tool that identifies levels of threats to conservation priority areas, and work with stakeholder through a series of meetings and workshops to achieve consensus on priority areas.
Next meeting of the Funding Committee – May 15, 2017 at 1pm

30. Summit concept “connecting a landscape conservation community”
Face-to-face event
Learn about different ecoregional and larger conservation efforts
Identify overlapping, but complementary efforts
Starting point for Community of Practice across the NorthWest
Focus on landscape-scale conservation strategies
Outcomes:
Develop a shared understanding of the different scales of work happening and how that scaled work can be leveraged
Identify the existing strengths of landscape conservation design as well as key gaps
Identify who is doing what, sharing the stages of development and key products – learning from others to leverage interests and resources
Move the conservation needle
When? Late Fall of 2017/early Winter 2018
Summit concept “connecting a landscape conservation community”
