The Upper Columbia United Tribes have identified the need to continue to implement wildlife monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Using the Albeni Falls Dam Wildlife Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, the Tribes have pooled 5% of their individual contract resources to initiate a regional perspective to M&E. This approach has been reviewed and endorsed by the ISRP and will be closely linked to work completed between 2001 and 2006 by the Kalispel Tribe. This approach uses a habitat based approach comparing species guild and vegetation data to determine habitat quality based upon a reference site or desired future condition. Small mammal, breeding bird, amphibian, and vegetation are the four areas of data collection used to build a description of the reference site over a three year period. Once the baseline is completed, permanent sites are selected on each of the managed parcels and data from them is compared against the reference to describe each habitat types' similarity to the reference site. Each permanent sample point is generated randomly and revisited on varying time frames to track changes toward the reference site. Once restoration or passive management is complete and habitat types are showing strong similarity to the reference condition, the active portion of mitigation would be considered completed and the actions a success. Information from this analysis will be stored in a common database and developed to be accessed via a web interface. This information will be used to adaptively manage each project and techniques used to restore, enhance, or manage each area and habitat type. This approach will reduce costs, increase continuity of data collection, data interpretation, data presentation, and data collection methods.
