The Karuk Climate Adaptation Plan utilises a combination of Western science and Karuk traditional ecological knowledge. The plan centres on 22 focal species as cultural indicators as cues for human responsibilities and the particular techniques of fire application across seven habitat management zones . These adaptations range from specific prescriptions for the use of fire to lower river temperatures in acute scenarios , to protocols for treatment of grasslands and the use of high elevation meadows as fuel breaks. The plan also includes chapters on adaptations for tribal sovereignty, the mental and physical health effects of the changing climate and the protection of critical tribal infrastructure.
