- Assisted Migration: Redefining Nature and Natural Resource Law Under Climate Change
To avoid extinctions and other harms to ecological health from escalating climatic change, scientists, resource managers, and activists are considering and even engaging in "assisted migration" -- the intentional movement of an organism to an area in which its species has never existed.

It details arguments regarding the scientific viability and legality of assisted migration under the thicket of laws that govern natural resources in the US.

The Environmental Protection Agency is publishing for public comment a draft long-range strategy that describes how the agency will address climate change challenges to its mission of protecting human health and the environment. Climate change alters the hydrological background in which EPA's programs function.
