In fiscal year 2010, the National Park Service (NPS) received funding for a new Climate Change Response Program (CCRP). The goals of the CCRP strategy include enhancing the existing natural resources Inventory and Monitoring Program (I&M) to expand the program's monitoring of climate-sensitive indicators. The results from the enhanced monitoring will be used to evaluate and report the status and trends of park resources for the purpose of facilitating adaptation planning and management. The initial I&M priorities for the CCRP goals build upon existing monitoring and strengthen interagency coordination for parks in four categories of high vulnerability to climate change: high elevation, high latitude, coastal/marine, and arid lands. The Department of Interior (DOI) Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC) provided the organizational framework for collaboration on enhanced monitoring. Working with partners within each LCC, the I&M networks established procedures for enhancing existing monitoring to provide more information on ecological response to climate change.
