Description

This blueprint describes how the National Wildlife Refuge System will initially implement a nationally coordinated program to support inventorying and monitoring IM program at refuge, landscape, regional, and national scales. The IM program is designed to address the Refuge Systems critical information needs and to help plan and evaluate the effectiveness of conservation strategies implemented by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Service and conservation partners in the face of accelerating climate change and growing threats from other environmental stressors. This Operational Blueprint establishes the initial structure of the IM program and identifies priority tasks to be initiated in Phase 1 Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011.
