This is a template to assist in developing the wildlife element of subbasin plans. It will also be useful to ecoprovincial planners as it shows how subbasin and provincial levels will be integrated. This document was developed to promote planning consistency in the Columbia River Basin, to provide a structure for the main wildlife components of a subbasin plan, and provide information on the analysis tools. While the ecoprovincial level guidance is primarily directed at subbasin planners in Oregon and Washington, the principles are also applicable to Idaho and Montana planners.

This guidance is provided in six sections:

1. Context for wildlife in subbasin planning
2. Approach to incorporation of wildlife in subbasin planning
3. Approach to wildlife assessment
4. Connecting subbasin and ecoprovince planning efforts
5. Outline for subbasin plan (with terrestrial/wildlife sections highlighted)
6. Literature cited
