Grant Description

The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) promotes coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages, in the face of a changing climate and related stressors. The Western Alaska LCC is seeking project ideas for potential funding in 2011. Available funding is highly uncertain at this time, however, the Cooperative may have up to $1 Million dollars to distribute for projects in 2011. Projects including some of the following characteristics would be useful to the LCC: data compilation, recovery or synthesis; providing information fundamental to understanding climate change effects on habitats and ecosystems of western Alaska; providing vulnerability assessments of habitats or ecosystems (note: single-species vulnerability assessments will not be considered until the Science Plan is completed); incorporating a Traditional Ecological Knowledge component in the project (e.g. data collection, analysis, synthesis); improving availability of, and analytical interfaces to, geospatial and baseline data fundamental to understanding climate change effects on habitats and ecosystems of western Alaska; providing tools and training to land and resource managers for strategic decision making or long-term planning. All projects must address one or more components of the following conservation goals: support coordination and collaboration among partners to improve efficiencies in their common science and information activities; identify and support research, and data collection, analysis, and sharing that address common information needs; enable synthesis of information at landscape and eco-regional spatial scales; promote communications to enhance understanding regarding effects of climate change in Western Alaska; enhance resource management through applied science and technology transfer; or identify opportunities for coordinated management strategies for natural and cultural resources.
