Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) with Environmental and Public Works Chair Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) have introduced into the Senate the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act, a bill calling for a national strategy to safeguard wildlife and habitat impacted by global warming.
Last August the House of Representatives passed the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act as part of a larger energy bill.

The Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act has four main elements:

• A declaration of national policy committing the federal government, in cooperation with state, tribal and local governments and other concerned organizations, to use all practicable means to assist wildlife in adapting to and surviving the effects of global warming.
• A national strategy for assisting wildlife impacted by global warming developed by the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the Secretaries of Agriculture and Commerce, states, tribes, local
  governments, conservation organizations and scientists, and coordinated with existing wildlife conservation plans. The national strategy identifies specific goals and methods to protect, acquire and restore wildlife habitat in order to build resilience to global warming, and provide habitat linkages to facilitate wildlife movements in response to global warming. The National Strategy would also protect natural communities most vulnerable to global warming, and restore and protect ecological processes that sustain wildlife populations.
• Improved science capacity for federal agencies to respond to global warming, including a National Global Warming and Wildlife Science Center in the U.S. Geological Survey and enhanced science capacity in federal land management and wildlife agencies.
• Federal funding for implementation of the national strategy and state and tribal actions to enhance wildlife resilience to global warming.
• The bill allocates federal funding to federal land management agencies, and federally funded and implemented fish and wildlife management programs.
  It would also provide funding to states and tribes for    programs and actions to address the impacts of global warming on wildlife pursuant to state wildlife action plans.

The Government Audit Office has made recommendations regarding climate impacts upon agencies and their resources. Climate change has implications for the vast land and water resources managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Forest Service (FS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and National Park Service (NPS). see http://www.gao.gov/docsearch/abstract.php?rptno=GAO-07-863
