The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (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
one 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
- Identify opportunities for coordinated management strategies for
natural and cultural resources
