· Develop adaptation strategies for coping with climate change

· Research and training in conservation of global species and environmental pollution

· Develop interagency interdisciplinary research, technical assistance, and education programs that integrate cultural and natural resource concerns and that provide avenues of communication between disciplines.

Technical Assistance

· Develop efficient ways to monitor the vital signs of natural systems

· Develop effective ways of sharing natural system monitoring information so that these data are useful to the surrounding agencies and communities outside the parks
