Adaptation efforts to assess vulnerability of species and ecosystems, predict adaptive capacity and identify conservation-oriented options have increased markedly across North America . Scenario-based planning, an approach for addressing uncertainty, continues to gain traction and is regularly applied by the US National Park Service . Nonetheless, barriers to implementation of specific actions often exist , hampering progress . Efforts to evaluate the efficacy of implemented adaptation actions are also lacking , but some cases show progress. For example, ongoing efforts are quantifying how variable water releases from the Colorado River's Glen Canyon Dam affect endangered fish species . Nature-based Solutions  for adaptation  are increasingly being evaluated, especially at larger scales.
