The Sierra Nevada Ecosystem Project ended when it delivered the final report to Congress. However, the SNEP was just one part of an assortment of activities attempting to improve management of natural resources in the Sierra Nevada. Information compiled by the SNEP will serve as fundamental background material for most of these other projects. The following is a brief (and incomplete) list of activities and organizations focusing on the entire Sierra Nevada. There are dozens of other projects active at subregional and watershed scales.

Sierra Nevada Network -- a direct follow-up to the SNEP and Sierra Nevada Research Planning efforts that hopes to coordinate research and application of scientific knowledge; based at the Centers for Water and Wildland Resources at UC Davis.

CalOwl EIS Review -- an advisory team has been selected to help integrate SNEP findings into the 1996 CalOwl EIS and review the draft (unreleased) document.

Sierra Nevada information projects -- the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is working to improve the utility and availability of SNEP GIS products; some of the digital data is available via (http://alexandria.sdc.ucsb.edu/ and http://ceres.ca.gov/snep)

Regional Council of Rural Counties -- endorsing watershed management as both a conservation and economic development program in the Sierra Nevada.

California Biodiversity Council, Sierra Regional Leadership Forums -- an effort focused at the subregions delineated by SNEP and aiming to catalyze collaborative management of each subregion.

Environmental Protection Agency -- may start a Sierra Nevada regional program.

The Wilderness Society -- its Range of Light Project has written a "Citizen's Guide to SNEP and the Federal Forest Lands" and is holding public workshops this summer.

Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics -- using SNEP information as a basis, a land management plan will be proposed for the Sierra Nevada.

Pacific Rivers Council -- produced an aquatic conservation strategy for the Sierra Nevada in 1995 and will publish an updated version this summer along with maps of proposed Aquatic Diversity Areas.

The Nature Conservancy -- developing a conservation plan for the Sierra Nevada.

Sierra Nevada Alliance -- facilitating information exchange between conservation groups throughout the Sierra Nevada.
