This grant opportunity offered by the Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative aims to fund projects in FY16 and FY17 focusing on informing decision makers about climate change effects on terrestrial habitat features in western Alaska. Projects will fall into three categories: studying patterns of change in subsistence resources, identifying hotspots of change or stable locations, and assessing changes in habitat characteristics. This opportunity is funded through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and seeks to promote applied science for landscape-level conservation in the region. Applications must be submitted by November 2, 2015.

| Description: | The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is a self-directed partnership governed by a Steering Committee. The Steering Committee includes representatives from 14 State, Federal and Tribal organizations. It is one of 5 LCCs in Alaska and one of 22 in North America. Our mission is to promote coordination, dissemination and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages in the face of a changing climate and related stressors. Congress provides seed funding for our LCC through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This funding announcement is part of our Terrestrial Systems focus for FY16 and FY17. Projects sponsored in these years will be linked to the topic, Informing decision makers about climate change effects on terrestrial habitat features and their impact on important resources/services in western Alaska. Three categories are included in this funding opportunity: Category 1. Patterns of change, and their impacts, in the phenology and distribution of subsistence resources, harvested species, or other species of management interest. Category 2: Identification and synthesis of information about (hotspots) of change or of highly resilient (stable) locations in western Alaska. Category 3: Changes in terrestrial habitat characteristics and their impact on important resources or services in western Alaska. |
