South
Dakotans are
already feeling the effects of climate change. Science tells
us these effects will
only increase in the coming years. Hunters, anglers, farmers,
ranchers, tribes, colleges, business owners and citizens need
to know what to expect from these effects; what steps they
can
take
to help
mitigate some of the impacts; and policies we can adopt at
a state level that will help address these issues.
The "South
Dakota Climate Challenge Conference -
Strategies for the Future" is
being organized by the South Dakota Wildlife Federation with
assistance from the National Wildlife Federation
and will follow the format of the successful Montana Climate
Challenge conference held last September (see the Montana
Conference). The
conference will implement
a progressive, proactive approach to address the
growing global climate challenge. Under the guidance of experts
from agriculture, industry, tribes, economics, recreation and
conservation, participants will use information exchange and
interactive
breakout sessions to produce a working strategy for South Dakota.
