Accelerated climate change is projected to interact with existing agents of change and pose unprecedented challenges for the protection of native species and ecosystem services. Responding to this challenge calls for extraordinary levels of collaboration across the landscape and partnership among scientific researchers and resource managers. The Strategic Framework for Science in Support of Management in the Southern Sierra Nevada Ecoregion was collaboratively developed by federal agencies to face this challenge head-on. The framework will be carried out by the Southern Sierra Conservation Cooperative, a collaborative group of government agencies and nonprofit organizations in the Southern Sierra Nevada Ecoregion. The framework contains four goals: understanding where and why changes occur, anticipating possible futures, developing tools required to take effective action, and providing easy access to and delivery of information to target audiences.
