Contributions to the development of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Sagebrush Conservation Strategy
USGS scientists are contributing to the development of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Sagebrush Conservation Strategy, a strategy intended to provide guidance so that efforts to conserve the iconic greater sage-grouse can be expanded to the entire sagebrush biome to benefit the people and wildlife that depend on it.
USGS scientists are contributing to the development of the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies Sagebrush Conservation Strategy. This strategy is intended to provide guidance so that the collaborative conservation efforts by State and Federal agencies, academia, Tribes, nongovernmental organizations, and stakeholders to conserve the iconic greater sage-grouse can be expanded to the entire sagebrush biome to benefit the people and wildlife that depend on it.
The Sagebrush Conservation Strategy will be presented in two parts. Part A, Challenges to Sagebrush Conservation (Remington and others, in press), is an overview and assessment of the challenges facing land managers and landowners in conserving sagebrush ecosystems. Part B will summarize conservation needs at ecoregional scales, provide an analysis of barriers and impediments to successful conservation of the sagebrush biome at those scales, and present nonregulatory strategies developed through a stakeholder engagement process to overcome these challenges.
