North-South Movement
The Cascade mountains in Washington and British Columbia are central to many species and land conservation efforts as they provide important critical habitat for fish and wildlife, while containing the headwaters to vital rivers providing water to cities within and at the base of the mountain range. In summer of 2012 a group of practitioners realized that although the Cascades were central in many of the minds in the northwest, the system was divided between two Landscape Conservation Cooperatives that aimed to increase coordination and communication across borders on high priority natural resource issues.
WA Resource Quality
Formed by practitioners in Washington and British Columbia’s Cascade mountains in the summer of 2012, the Cascadia Partner Forum fosters a network of natural resource practitioners working with the Great Northern and North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperatives to build the adaptive capacity of the landscape and species living within it.
The Cascadia Partner Forum sought funding in 2014 to complete conservation design for four Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative conservation targets with significance to the transboundary Cascadia landscape to inform sound, data-driven management planning and action. This project aims to complete conservation design at the Cascadia-wide scale for grizzly bear, salmon, aquatic, and terrestrial connectivity to contribute to the Great Northern LCC Science Plan, while providing input and integration to the courser scale GNLCC-wide Science Plan’s established objectives, threats, metrics, and conservation actions for each target. Additionally we proposed to conduct analyses on a common Great Northern LCC...
The wolverine (Gulo gulo), largest terrestrial member of the weasel family, is perhaps one of the rarest and least-studied carnivores in North America. Resembling a short, stocky bear, this animal sports a distinctive bushy tail, small ears and eyes, and semi-retractable claws for climbing and digging. Adult females weigh in the range of 8-12 kg, and males weigh some 50% more. Although they are active during the day, wolverines are primarily nocturnal. Their average lifespan is ten years and they have been known to live as long as 18.

Salish Sea Ecosystem
Cascadia is home to many sockeye salmon, including major runs that pass through the Columbia and Fraser basins. The largest stock in the world famously runs through these ecosystems by way of the Adams River and through the Fraser River system. Sockeye salmon in the both the Fraser and Columbia basins have declined substantially from historic levels when runs were as large as 3 million fish in the Columbia and 40 million in the Fraser at the turn of the 20th century. Reasons for these declines are diverse and sometimes speculative. Uncertainty surrounding this species is raising concerns that have given birth to commissions and conservation efforts to preserve and learn more about the sockeye’s status and their...
The Cascadia Partner Forum is a pilot effort designed to foster a network of natural resource practitioners working within this transboundary region to build the adaptive capacity of the landscape and species living within it. Work is to be accomplished in close coordination with the Great Northern and North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC). Because the Cascades are located on the edges of two LCCs but at the center of many conservation discussions, partners see a need to promote this area and collaborate in a unified way. Participants expressed a need for cooperation eastwest and north-south, across international and LCC borders. There is interest in an umbrella initiative recognized by agencies...
The 8th annual WildLinks conference was held November 10-12, 2014 at the North Cascades Institute in Washington. Hosted by the Cascadia Partner Forum, the conference objectives were to: Share information on upcoming or underway adaptation related efforts in the transboundary region to increase coordination and involvement, while providing time and space to further these efforts; Gain local expertise and contribution to North Pacific and Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperatives regional planning efforts, including furthering input from Cascadia on three Great Northern LCC conservation targets prioritized by the Cascadia Partner Forum: Grizzly Bear, Salmon, and Ecological Connectivity (aquatic and terrestrial);...
The Cascadia Partner Forum requests funding to track and foster implementation and update to conservation design for four Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GNLCC) conservation targets underway towards completion currently while initiating conservation design on two new conservation targets (Canada lynx and bull trout) to contribute to Cascadia-wide climate adaptation strategies and provide input and integration to the courser scale GNLCC-wide Science Plan’s established objectives, threats, metrics, and conservation actions for each target. Additionally we propose to continue our work to create a transboundary network of practitioners coordinating to increase the adaptive capacity of the ecosystems...
