Conserving an Intact and Enduring Appalachian Landscape

This report contains the collaborative, strategic vision for safeguarding and conserving the Appalachian Landscape, a globally significant region that faces pressing threats from climate change and increasing human development. As a result of a Climate Advisory Group (CAG) in 2021, conservation and environmental experts gathered to assess the Landscape’s current conservation status and establish realistic actions for expanding the region’s protections; building climate resilience; ensuring ecological integrity; and supporting affected communities—especially those communities economically dependent on the Landscape.
