[PCA] Fwd: Multi-LCC Webinar: Science Framework for Sec. Order 3336 (Sept. 26)

[Lindsey Riibe]

A Science Framework for Assessing Threats to Sagebrush Ecosystems and
Greater Sage-Grouse and Prioritizing Conservation and Restoration Actions


Department of the Interior Secretarial Order 3336, Rangeland Fire
Prevention, Management, and Restoration, called for the development of a
comprehensive, science-based strategy to reduce the threat of large-scale
rangeland fire to greater sage-grouse habitat and the sagebrush steppe
ecosystem.

On September 26, the four LCCs of the sagebrush steppe are pleased to bring
you a presentation on the scientific tools and methods recently developed
to support the implementation of the conservation strategy.

The Science Framework for the Conservation and Restoration Strategy of
Secretarial Order 3336 provides a strategic, multiscale approach for
prioritizing areas for management and determining effective management
strategies across the sagebrush biome. It includes:


   - A six step process linking information on sagebrush ecosystem
   resilience to species habitat requirements
   - An assessment of the predominant ecosystem and anthropogenic threats
   - Decision tools including a habitat matrix to aid in determining
   project areas and appropriate management actions at multiple scales
   - Geospatial data, maps and models provided through the U.S. Geological
   Survey ScienceBase and BLM Landscape Approach Data Portal to support future
   assessments
   - The Science Framework and geospatial crosscut are intended to
   complement the mitigation strategies associated with the Greater
   Sage-Grouse Land Use Plan amendments for the Department of the Interior
   Bureaus, such as the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.


Join us for this webinar to learn more about the tools and science
developed as part of the Framework.
