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
This publication contains priority recommendations for effectively and respectfully conserving the terrestrial boundary between the US and Canada based on a series of four virtual Dialogue events held in 2021 with representatives from institutions and communities working near or across the boundary. The three transboundary conservation recommendations include: committing to a formal ethical agreement to
This report, released by federal agencies, introduces a spatially explicit model that assesses sagebrush ecological integrity to plan a strategic, threat-based landscape conservation design. The report indicates a staggering 1.3 million acres of sagebrush rangeland are being lost annually. While climate change poses a threat, the diverse group of experts concluded that invasive grasses and
The goal for this manual is to provide practical information for the implementation of mitigation measures that aim to: 1. Improve human safety through reducing collisions with large animals, including wild mammal species, feral species, and free-roaming livestock species, and 2. Improve or maintain habitat connectivity for terrestrial wildlife species through safe crossing opportunities.

This memorandum identifies federal agency budget requests for Fiscal Year 2023 congressional appropriations for collaborative landscape conservation and habitat connectivity efforts.
This document is a compendium of key connectivity policies drawn from reviews previously published by the Center, as well as more recent connectivity policies promulgated in the years 2020-2021.
Now that nearly a decade has passed since U.S. Forest Service included explicit requirements for maintaining or restoring ecological connectivity in its 2012 Planning Rule, it is timely to assess how the agency has implemented this connectivity mandate. The Center for Large Landscape Conservation conducted research on challenges and opportunities for integrating ecological connectivity into
