The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Coop- erative (ALCC) was initiated in 2010, and covers a number of states (including New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Georgia, and Alabama) along with the westernmost part of the state (Figure 5 -10). This cooperative intends to facilitate regional conservation planning and design to support existing conservation partnerships and promote innovative conservation approaches, with specific attention to priority species such as freshwater mussels, endemic fish, salaman- ders, migratory birds, bats and rare plants (USFWS 2010b). In fiscal year 2010, the ALCC will conduct multi - stakeholder scoping meetings to identify administration, structure, staffing and conservation priorities. 5o6o.2 rGtatl'C4gl''ricy 4Jlcidatl'i,et, kwb tl"i 'a rotatl;"i, V Vi1d11fe A ti(eir /`Ila is Many states are in the process of integrating climate change into their State Wildlife Action Plans. Sever- al states hosted workshops a couple years ago to initi- ate the process of updating their action plans, while other states are now beginning to think about the how to revise their plans. States also are conducting vulnerability assessments of species and habitats in their plans to help them develop appropriate conser- vation strategies. A few states have even developed amendments and/ or addendums to their plans to address climate change. The National Wildlife Feder- ation (NWF), and Defenders of Wildlife have worked with many states on these efforts. Currently, NWF is collecting data and summarizing information on what all states are doing to integrate climate change in their State Wildlife Action Plans. At the time of publication, data collection is not complete. In the interest of being comprehensive and not including only a selection of states, NWF will be providing this E'1fl' i'r,jll;l'k "llE'1f/ /Il information once complete through the website for this report via NWF's website: www.nwf.or /Vlg obal- warming / stateb, sue. In addition, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' Climate Change Committee is hosting regional workshops on climate change. As a part of this effort, AFWA staff are conducting an extensive survey on what states are doing to address climate change (not only in regards to State Wildlife Action Plans). AFWA is compiling this information and putting it on its website. Not all workshops have been held; thus, data for all states through the AFWA survey is not available, but it will be in the coming months.
