On-the-Ground Adaptation

The On-the-Ground Adaptation Roundtable

This roundtable is focused on developing case study examples of on-the-ground fire and climate adaptation projects that are being implemented by practitioners. These case studies describe the project goals, team members, successes and challenges, and lessons learned. To develop these case studies, the roundtable has partnered with the Conservation and Adaptation Resources Toolbox. The group has also convened workshops (both virtual and in-person) to network with practitioners and learn what information they find to be most useful for their work.

Case Studies

In collaboration with the Conservation and Adaptation Resources Toolbox (CART) Team, the SWFireCAP has produced 17 case studies at the intersection of fire and climate adaptation. These case studies provide examples of projects from diverse ecosystems across the Southwest that are using a variety of management techniques to increase the pace and scale of cire and climate adaptation.
