Connecting Landscapes ~ Connecting People
Fragmented landscapes isolate and weaken animal populations and disrupt the natural cycles that people and wildlife need to thrive. Climate change further exacerbates these challenges, creating a dual climate/biodiversity crisis. The scale of the problem is vast—and it requires large-scale and data-driven solutions. The Center for Large Landscape Conservation works to enhance the planet’s resilience and reconnect our fragmented natural world through science, policy, practice, and collaboration. We are pleased to offer our expert technical advisement services in these areas through NatureConnect.
NatureConnect is a diverse suite of services, tools, and workshops to help you achieve your connectivity and landscape conservation goals
The service categories below are conceptualized according to the phases of a conservation project. However, we can provide them either individually or in sequence as your project progresses. We strive to meet you wherever you are in your process!

Because we work with such a wide range of partners, there is no one-size-fits-all solution or pricing structure. Our NatureConnect services are competitively and fairly priced, and thoughtfully designed to most efficiently and effectively support our partners.
Even if you’re not sure what services you need, connect with us to share your goals and challenges for your landscape, and we can explore how to work together.

Planning for Jaguar Habitat Connectivity in the Large Pantanal-Chaco Landscape of South America
Connectivity Modeling, Mapping, and Prioritization
The Center for Large Landscape Conservation has undertaken an effort with partners in the Wildlife Connect Initiative to identify and map the habitat corridors for jaguars in the vast Pantanal-Chaco (PACHA) region of South America. This richly biodiverse ecosystem is at risk from the conversion of pristine areas to agriculture and fragmentation, so maintaining habitat connections is critical and should also benefit giant anteaters, tapirs, hyacinth macaws, and many more species in addition to jaguars. Our science team, enlisting input from local experts and using a tool specifically designed for the task, is identifying the most important corridors for conservation action. Using the baseline connectivity indicators the team determined for the current network of protected areas and corridors, local experts can now track how connectivity changes over time to ensure that conservation efforts are effective.
