1) Information on the distribution and abundance of species of wildlife, including low and declining populations
as the state fish and wildlife agency deems appropriate, that are indicative of the diversity and health of the
state’s wildlife; and,
(2) Descriptions of extent and condition of habitats and community types essential to conservation of species
identified in (1); and,
(3) Descriptions of problems which may adversely affect species identified in (1) or their habitats, and priority
research and survey efforts needed to identify factors which may assist in restoration and improved conservation
of these species and habitats; and,
(4) Descriptions of conservation actions proposed to conserve the identified species and habitats and priorities
for implementing such actions; and,
(5) Proposed plans for monitoring species identified in (1) and their habitats, for monitoring the effectiveness of
the conservation actions proposed in (4), and for adapting these conservation actions to respond appropriately
to new information or changing conditions; and,
(6) Descriptions of procedures to review the plan at intervals not to exceed ten years; and,
(7) Plans for coordinating the development, implementation, review, and revision of the plan with federal, state,
and local agencies and Indian tribes that manage significant land and water areas within the state or administer
programs that significantly affect the conservation of identified species and habitats.
(8) Broad public participation is an essential element of developing and implementing these plans, the projects
that are carried out while these plans are developed, and the species in greatest need of conservation.
8 Elements
Goal 1
Conserve habitat to support healthy fish, wildlife, and plant populations and ecosystem functions in a changing
climate.
Goal 2
Manage species and habitats to protect ecosystem functions and provide sustainable cultural, subsistence,
recreational, and commercial use in a changing climate.
Goal 3
Enhance capacity for effective management in a changing climate.
Goal 4
Support adaptive management in a changing climate through integrated observation and monitoring and use of
decision support tools.
Goal 5
Increase knowledge and information on impacts and responses of fish, wildlife, and plants to a changing climate.
Goal 6
Increase awareness and motivate action to safeguard fish, wildlife, and plants in a changing climate.
Goal 7
Reduce non-climate stressors to help fish, wildlife, plants, and ecosystems adapt to a changing climate.
7 Goals of National Strategy
Element One (species distribution and abundance) states may want to use vulnerability
assessments to support the addition/removal of species from their list of species in greatest need
of conservation and examine how climate change could impact distribution and abundance of
species and their status as native or exotic.
Element Two (location and condition of key habitats) states may want to assess how habitats and
species ranges may change as a result of current and future climate change through scenario-
building; both temporally and spatially and plan for novel communities/ ecosystems that appear
due to these shifts.
Element Three (descriptions of problems and priority research survey efforts) states may want to
consider both direct and indirect impacts of climate change; identify and execute research in
partnership with other states/ regions to gain economy of scale and consider climate change as an
additional “layer” of threats to existing threats.
Element Four (descriptions of conservation actions) states should consider actions for a range of
likely future climate conditions; identify/describe how conservation actions will be prioritized
when considering multiple threats; identify actions that minimize, not necessarily eliminate
climate change impacts; provide for wildlife adaptation; and provide for resilience and/or facilitate
movement to suitable habitats and conditions.
Element Five (monitoring plans) states should strive to implement streamlined and affordable
monitoring programs that inform management decisions under a changing climate and should
consider working with other states and partners to monitor species and habitats across their
entire range.
8 Elements in Climate Change Guidance Document
Element Six (plans for revision) states should contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service regional
office early in the revision process and refer to the 2007 FWS/AFWA Revision Guidance letter to
determine if a “major” or “minor” revision will be required.
Element Seven (coordinating with partners) states should consider coordinating and collaborating
with partners since the scope, scale and uncertainty of climate change impacts will require a high
level of expertise support and collaboration; agencies in coastal states should consider addressing
marine environments and/or collaborating with sister agencies with jurisdiction over marine
species.
Element Eight (public participation) states should consider public participation planning since the
potential for controversy associated with climate change could be high; strive to improve
understanding of the impacts to wildlife and gain public support or acceptance for revising your
Wildlife Action Plan; use terms that are tested with the public like “safeguarding wildlife” as
opposed to “wildlife adaption” and involve conservation partners early during the public
participation planning process, but recognize there may not be agreement on messages or
approaches.

Element One (species distribution and abundance) states may want to use vulnerability assessments to support the addition/removal of species from their list of species in greatest need of conservation and examine how climate change could impact distribution and abundance of species and their status as native or exotic. Element Two (location and condition of key habitats) states may want to assess how habitats and species ranges may change as a result of current and future climate change through scenario- building; both temporally and spatially and plan for novel communities/ ecosystems that appear due to these shifts. Element Three (descriptions of problems and priority research survey efforts) states may want to consider both direct and indirect impacts of climate change; identify and execute research in partnership with other states/ regions to gain economy of scale and consider climate change as an additional “layer” of threats to existing threats. Element Four (descriptions of conservation actions) states should consider actions for a range of likely future climate conditions; identify/describe how conservation actions will be prioritized when considering multiple threats; identify actions that minimize, not necessarily eliminate climate change impacts; provide for wildlife adaptation; and provide for resilience and/or facilitate movement to suitable habitats and conditions. Element Five (monitoring plans) states should strive to implement streamlined and affordable monitoring programs that inform management decisions under a changing climate and should consider working with other states and partners to monitor species and habitats across their entire range. 8 Elements in Climate Change Guidance Document
  • 4. Element Six (plans for revision) states should contact the US Fish and Wildlife Service regional office early in the revision process and refer to the 2007 FWS/AFWA Revision Guidance letter to determine if a “major” or “minor” revision will be required. Element Seven (coordinating with partners) states should consider coordinating and collaborating with partners since the scope, scale and uncertainty of climate change impacts will require a high level of expertise support and collaboration; agencies in coastal states should consider addressing marine environments and/or collaborating with sister agencies with jurisdiction over marine species. Element Eight (public participation) states should consider public participation planning since the potential for controversy associated with climate change could be high; strive to improve understanding of the impacts to wildlife and gain public support or acceptance for revising your Wildlife Action Plan; use terms that are tested with the public like “safeguarding wildlife” as opposed to “wildlife adaption” and involve conservation partners early during the public participation planning process, but recognize there may not be agreement on messages or approaches. 8 Elements in Climate Change Guidance Document
