Baucus bill orders coordinated response to global warming (FS, BLM, FWS, NPS, NOAA)

...“In 2007, no one was doing anything,” said Jennifer Donohue, a spokeswoman for Montana Sen. Max Baucus, who’s proposing legislation to make the agencies work together and help state governments get involved. “Now some agencies are out there doing good things, but we need to coordinate it.” Baucus and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., introduced S. 1202 on Thursday to make the five agencies cooperate on adaptation-specific policies. Doing so would not only improve those public lands, but protect the multi-billion-dollar community economies that depend on them.  “This bill will provide some direction – it won’t just be changing terms,” said Dave Dittloff of the National Wildlife Federation in Missoula. “A lot of what needs to be done to help critters and plants is good conservation work, regardless of climate-change labels.”
But getting the agencies on the same page is important, Dittloff added. For instance, a grizzly bear wandering through the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex could touch the jurisdictions of the National Park Service, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and Fish and Wildlife Service – as well as Montana’s Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks and Department of Natural Resources and Conservation. “This bill is about making sure that’s all being managed as one coordinated system, particularly since some of the critters inside are going to need to move,” Dittloff said. “We need to allow them to move regardless of agency boundaries.” In addition to the agency management directive, the bill would make climate change projects a specific qualifier in grant programs for state and tribal land managers. If states create climate adaptation plans, they would have greater access to State and Tribal Wildlife grants, Coastal Zone Management Act grants and Coastal and Estuarine Land Conservation Program funding...more

“We need to allow them to move regardless of agency boundaries.”

I'm curious as to when grizzly bears started sweating agency boundaries?  Are they lumbering along and all of a sudden stop and say "can't go there, that's Park Service land"?

I can understand if a female bear wants to have a rendezvous with Smokey, why she's gonna stick to FS land.  But if Smokey ain't her type no damn boundary line on a map will keep her from prowling for, say, Yogi Bear.  Ain't no coordination by the agencies needed.

Besides, can you think of what a love affair coordinated by Five federal agencies would be like?  I can, but I can't use that word here.
