Description

Activities
The recipient will work with managers in the greater yellowstone area to implement the resist-accept-direct framework as a strategy to manage wildfires and subsequent ecosystem changes.they will collaborate with managers from each greater yellowstone area agency to identify 1)shared and differing management goals, 2) management options that can resist, accept, or directwildfire-related ecosystem changes, and 3) opportunities for agencies to coordinateimplementation of the resist- accept-direct framework across the landscape to achieve theirgoals, since fires span management boundaries. Through synthesis of the scientific literature, review of management plans, and semistructuredinterviews with fire, vegetation, and resource managers in each management unit in the greater yellowstone area, the project team will identify shared and diverging desired future states in relation to climate change, ecological transformations, wildfire, and ecosystem services. They will facilitate a workshop for further data gathering, bringing together managers from across the region to discuss how the resist-accept-direct framework can assist in achieving landscape-scale goals.deliverables and expected outcomes:this project will help managers identify and coordinate approaches to achieve their conservation goals in the context of climate change, ensuring the preservation of key species, ecosystems, and resources in the north central climate adaptation science center regions public lands. Deliverables will include reports, presentations, and webinars that synthesize the existing science, the range of management goals, and potential for resist-accept-direct coordination contributions to department of interior and national park service for managing wildfires andecological transformations a scientific publication and a CO-produced proposal for a decisionsupport tool to assist resource managers in implementing the resist-accept-direct framework.intended beneficiary(IES):resource managers, scientific community, and the general public.
