Topic: Transition (View All Topics in the Plan)
Guide changes in species composition at early stages of development.
Manage for species with wide moisture and temperature tolerances.
Establish at-risk species to locations that are expected to provide habitat.
Anticipate and respond to species decline: establish artificial reserves for at-risk and displaced species.
Install energy efficient heating and cooling systems.
Promote clean/renewable energy to decrease reliance on the energy grid, to have backup power supplies and to decrease carbon emissions.
Promote the updating of building codes to incorporate the future’s changing climate.
Increase climate change into decision making in land-use planning and construction of new infrastructure.
Diversify fish raised in tribal hatcheries to include more temperature tolerant strains and species.
Favor or restore native species and genotypes that are expected to be better adapted to future conditions.
Establish or encourage new mixes of native species.
