Tribal Climate Change Guide

The Tribal Climate Change Guide is part of the Pacific Northwest Tribal Climate Change Project (TCCP). The TCCP is part of the L.I.G.H.T. Foundation (LF), is an independent, Indigenous-led, conservation 501(c)(3) nonprofit established on the Colville Indian Reservation in the traditional territory of the Nespelem Tribe in present-day north central Washington State. LF supports the restoration and cultivation of native Plant and Pollinator Relatives and the culturally respectful conservation of habitats and ecosystems which are climate resilient and adaptive.

Description

The effects of climate change and hydroelectric (e.g. dams) management contribute to a complex human footprint in the North Cascades National Park, an otherwise largely natural ecosystem. NCASC scientist Madeleine Rubenstein and National Park Service partners accounted for the impacts of climate change on bald eagles, salmon, and flood events, so that park managers and the operators of the hydroelectric system can more effectively ensure the resilience of the eagle–salmon relationship along the Skagit River.
