Climate change is impacting air quality, and evidence indicates that climate change is related to increased instances of asthma, respiratory allergies, and airway diseases. These health challenges, due to air quality, have already been on the rise within our Blackfeet community. Airborne allergens and contaminants are increasing, as are risks to indoor air quality.

Connecting landscape-scale conservation partnerships through a national network will be essential to achieving the Biden Administration’s ambitious goals around biodiversity (“30 x 30” initiative), equity, and climate change. This report commissioned by the Center for Large Landscape Conservation and the Alaska Conservation Foundation provides recommendations for building back a better national framework that supports landscape conservation efforts
Climate change is increasing precipitation and snowmelt in late winter and early spring, increasing run-off and flood risk. Increased precipitation, heavy rainfall, and flooding are linked to outbreaks of waterborne disease.
ARC Solutions (a fiscally sponsored project of the Center) worked with its partners and cooperating agencies to compile this series of stories to celebrate existing and planned wildlife crossing projects aimed at making our highways safer for both people and wildlife. Included are projects from 11 western states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
The purpose of this report is to illustrate through four case studies how values of diversity, equity, and inclusion have strengthened landscape conservation projects across the United States.
Letter from the Center for Large Landscape Conservation to Gallatin County Commission, Planning Board, and Steering Committee to provide comments regarding the Envision Gallatin County (MT) Draft Growth Policy. The comments include recommendations regarding potential revisions to ensure that the best available scientific information, tools, and policies regarding ecological connectivity are fully integrated into the
“Land use-induced spillover: priority actions for protected and conserved area managers” was published in IUCN’s PARKS: The International Journal of Protected Areas and Conservation Special Issue on Protected Areas and COVID-19. The authors recommend ten practices to reduce the risk of future pandemics through protected and conserved area management. PARKS Journal
“Land use-induced spillover: a call to action to safeguard environmental, animal, and human health” was published in the journal Lancet Planetary Health. The authors call for interdisciplinary collaborations to advance knowledge on land-use implications for zoonotic disease emergence with a view toward informing the decisions needed to protect human health.

Ecological corridors are one of the best, and possibly only viable, management tools to maintain biodiversity at large scales and to allow species, and ecological processes, to track climate change. This document has been assembled as a summary of the best available information about managing these systems, with an aim to provide managers with a
ARC Solutions (a fiscally sponsored project of the Center) created this publication in Q&A format to answer the most common inquiries and misconceptions regarding wildlife-vehicle collisions and the proven success of wildlife crossing infrastructure in solving this ubiquitous problem.
