National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center: A Partnership to Sustain Fish and Wildlife Communities. Proposed 5 Year Strategy (2009-2014)

摘要

This 5-year strategy was developed to help guide the Center during its formative years. The creation and execution of a new Center of this type will require rapid learning from initial efforts, and flexibility to adapt in response to changing conditions. Therefore, we envision the need to refine this strategy annually, followed by the creation of a full strategic plan by 2014. This document articulates the history and goals of the Center, describes key partnerships, outlines the Centers national and regional structure, and addresses Center governance and evolution. This strategy was shaped by Congressional and Administration guidance, Department and Bureau input, and recommendations from key partner groups and numerous agency stakeholders who participated in an initial steering team and a series of regional and national workshops described below.
