A rapidly changing climate and expanding human footprint is driving increased rates of landscape change in the Pacific Northwest. This makes it challenging for managers to know if and to what extent recovery goals and conservation plans for at-risk species need to be modified to account for changing habitat conditions. Addressing this challenge requires accurate, up-to-date information about landscape change and how it affects the habitat and viability of at-risk species. In addition, managers need to be alerted when trends in habitat conditions approach key ecological thresholds, in order to determine if management goals and plans need to be modified in response to these changes. The goal of this project is to...

The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) was listed as a threatened species in the United States in 1975. Grizzly bear recovery across the range has since been guided by the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan (USFWS 1993) and within Washington State by the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Area plan (USFWS 1997). The North Cascades Ecosystem extends north into British Columbia and includes the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Population Unit (Apps 2010, BCME 2010). The entire North Cascades ecosystem is within the boundaries of the Cascadia Partner Forum landscape. The Cascadia Partner forum was formed to foster communication among a network of natural resource practitioners working with the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives in...
