Surrogate Species
This framework provides a way for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and State Fish and Wildlife Agencies to work together in the selection of species to serve as surrogates in landscape conservation design. This framework accomplishes a path forward on several important points:
• It establishes a peer-to-peer relationship between the Service and the States
• It respects the different authorities and responsibilities of States and the Service
• It clarifies the decision-making roles of the States and the Service
• It helps define the role of LCCs, not as decision bodies, but rather as forums providing significant additional capacity, information, and tools to assist States and the Service with approaches to landscape-scale conservation in their geographies.

Climate Change,
State
State Wildlife Action Plans prepared by natural resource agencies describe monitoring species and their habitats, monitoring the effectiveness of the conservation actions proposed, and adapting these conservation actions to respond appropriately to new information or changing conditions, including climate change. Other agencies at the state and federal level have also identified a need to plan strategically for climate change. The following states had published climate change plans or reports at the time of publication of the Appalachian Development and Operations Plan.

Wildland Fire,
State
Treatments to more than 3,100 acres helped create a defensible space for fire fighters to protect four communities during the 2018 Ferguson Fire. This Joint Chiefs’ project helped in reducing fuel loads and removing hazard trees in the wildland urban interface. These practices are critical in reducing the threat of catastrophic wildfire to local communities and sensitive habitats.

The Cooperative Research Unit program was established in 1935 to enhance graduate education in fisheries and wildlife sciences and to facilitate research between natural resource agencies and universities on topics of mutual concern. Today, there are 40 Cooperative Research Units in 38 states. Each unit is a partnership among the U.S. Geological Survey, a State natural resource agency, a host university, and the Wildlife Management Institute. Cooperative Research Units conduct research on renewable natural resource questions, participate in the education of graduate students, provide technical assistance and consultation on natural resource issues, and provide continuing education for natural resource professionals.
