View Source Document: Shoshone Paiute Tribes Climate Resilience Plan
Year: 2020
Topic: Ensure that the Sagebrush Steppe and Forest Ecosystem is thriving, vibrant, and resilient.
Evaluate livestock densities and grazing intensity, timing, and season, incorporating climate change projections.
Identify current lands on Duck Valley (or purchase new parcels) that could serve as a place to expand, protect, and...
Develop a plan to protect Wyoming Sage and Big Sagebrush in appropriate locations when considering climate change projections.
Fund Wyoming Sage and Big Sagebrush protection pilot project.
Use climate-adaptive Wyoming Sage, Big Sagebrush, and Bitterbrush seedlings to stabilize gullies and eroded hillsides.
Conserve areas identified as sagebrush landscape climate refugia and linkages between other potential refugia within the basin. Work instead to...
Coordinate with state and federal partners to protect core habitat areas that promote large-scale, continuous sage grouse habitat from development.
Identify, maintain and restore corridors that span elevation gradients to facilitate the dispersal of shrub steppe species into cooler, higher...
Pilot study rotation for pastures from grazing during periods of fastest growth of dominant perennial grasses and forbs, as this...
Understand how climate change will enhance vector-borne diseases in wildlife (e.g. West Nile in sage grouse) on Duck Valley.
Update management plans to include the potential impact of vector-borne diseases on wildlife due to climate change on Duck Valley.
Develop policies that reduces grazing pressure on recently restored (or replanted) landscapes.
