The DLN Sharing Management Practices team works with the Conservation and Adaptation Resources Toolbox (CART) to develop and disseminate case studies. CART is a multi-organizational partnership directed by the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that cooperates with over 200 individuals from dozens of organizations to increase and improve communication; develop tools to support landscape conservation, restoration, and drought resilience; inform management decision-making; and develop actionable science.

Case studies are write-ups of work completed to manage, conserve, restore, or conduct actionable science on natural resources. The narratives focus on methods and lessons learned that can inform future projects. They provide an opportunity to highlight the work of professionals, especially work that is not published in literature.

Case studies can be accessed in three ways. You can search the National Drought Mitigation Center’s Drought Management Strategy Library below, visit the CART Case Study Dashboard, or click here to see the list of case studies and read the 2 page overview.
