1 Projected Benefits of Regional Gap Analysis in Support of State Wildlife Agency Development of Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies Southwest Regional GAP Project Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology Donald L. Schrupp Habitat Section Colorado Division of Wildlife, Denver, CO

2 Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology Southwest Regional GAP Project : Development of Regionally Consistent Geospatial Information to Model Land Cover and Vertebrate Habitat Consistently Across the United States’ Southwestern Landscape

4 What Are: Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies ? Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology 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 associated habitats within the ecosystem. 8 Elements are Required to be Contained within the State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies.

5 Guidance for Strategy Development Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology 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

6 Creation of the Strategies Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology 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

7 What Distinguishes Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies from All Other Plans ? Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology 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

8 A Landscape Perspective of Model Outputs from Independent State GAP Efforts Southwest Regional GAP Project US-IALE 2004, Las Vegas, Nevada: Transdisciplinary Challenges in Landscape Ecology - 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
