S.2204 Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act

The Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act workshop group, led by Tanya Heikkila this semester, continued to create a management plan to establish the national strategy for facilitating the adaptation of wildlife populations and habitats to the impact of global warming that the act proposes.  The fall workshop group researched and worked on topics surrounding the bill.  The goals of the bill center on imperiled species. They include: enhancing the monitoring of current and prospective programs, guiding restorative efforts with its newly established advisory board, establishing corridors for wildlife, reducing threats that are not related to climate, and improving wildlife management. The group focused the design of its management plan on the ability of certain options to fulfill criteria such as administrative efficiency and data collection. The Workshop cohort also compared multiple operational plan options.  In the final weeks, the group worked to develop a contracting and staffing plan and created a budget.
