Conserving at-risk fish and wildlife in Ohio SWG Successes Lake Erie Water Snake (Nerodia sipedon insularum) Status: Federally threatened and state endangered Project Description: Establish permanent conservation easements on priority habitats, conduct research, determine population status and educate the public to minimize human-induced mortality. Cost= $250, 995 Outcome: Population increase to >8, 000 (Recovery Plan Goal 5, 555). Proposed for de-listing by FWS Partners: Ohio Department of Natural Resources, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service , Black Swamp Conservancy—Lake Erie Island Chapter, Western Reserve Land Conservancy, Northern Illinois University, Ohio State University Stone Laboratory, Lake Erie Island private property owners
Outputs vs Impacts
Two Questions Effectiveness ? Status ?
The Need for EM • Improve Conservation Work – link measures & actions • Improve Accountability to Administration & Congress – show success • Maintain/Enhance Public Support – tell a story
CMP Open Standards Conservation Measures Partnership’s Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation • Developed by leading organizations & agencies • Draws on many fields • Open source/common language • Used around the world • Great Lakes • TNC Preserves • Swedish National Parks • Donor Funding Programs • Academic Training
