Implementation Roles

• Private lands

• Partnerships

• Regulation

• Infrastructure

• Urban frontier

Individuals making or influencing decisions with regard to protected areas:

• Land or marine protected area manager

• Regional, state, or NGO director

• Water manager

• Conservation planner

• Support staff

What do we want to learn from them?

• Tasks (what things do they do?)

• Current problems (related to those tasks)

• Desired solutions (what do they wish they could

do?)

• Values (what do they value most in conservation

tools?)

Tier 1 – Immediate Relevant Opportunities

• National Park adaptation plans

• National Forest plans

• Gulf coast restoration

• Transportation planning

• Refuge planning and expansion

• Conservation Bond measures

• Agency private lands programs

• Carbon investment

• Endangered species

• Other??

Tier 2 – Relevant Opportunities

Planning for Blueprint Implementation

Tier 1: Pursue immediate (relevant)

opportunities

Tier 2: Relevant opportunities

Tier 3: Don’t know enough need to get more

information

Next steps

• Focus on Tier 1 opportunities pending

capacity;

• Focus on Tier 2 opportunities after

blueprint ver 1 is complete;

• Learn more about individuals in other

implementation roles as opportunities

arise.
