Landscape-level conservation that maintains biodiversity and livelihoods for local people requires long-term collaborations across local communities, scientists, practitioners and decision-makers. The Network for Conserving Central India (NCCI) provides a platform for such collaborations in a globally important tiger conservation region within a complex social-ecological system. Using the NCCI as an example, the study identifies indicators to track progress in collaborative landscape-level networks.

In 2021, representatives from Canadian and United States government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and Indigenous Nations convened dialogues to discuss shared priorities regarding transboundary, ecological connectivity conservation. This article summarizes the resulting policy recommendations.

This report provides a summary of activities and events leading up to and including the Mojave Desert Tortoise Transportation Ecology Workshop held virtually March 22, 23, and 25, 2021.

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.

This publication highlights the impacts that LTI has on Asian elephants and their habitats, addresses existing frameworks for reducing elephant-transport conflicts, provides seven case studies and a focus on emerging technologies, and makes general recommendations for inspiring urgent and practical actions. https://doi.org/10.53847/VYWN4174

The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) was established to assist those who manage native species, island ecosystems, and key cultural resources in adapting their management to climate change. Guided by a diverse steering committee of land/resource managers, the PICCC serviced a vast area across Hawaiʻi and the US-Affiliated Pacific Islands. This report presents key findings from evaluative research investigating PICCC’s achievements in the Hawaiian Islands.

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 convenient guidance document and tool to assist in applying scientific management principles to management of corridors.

Final report for the LISA Project, funded by USAID, which seeks to understand the challenges and barriers that slow the adoption and implementation of safeguards that protect Asia’s diverse wildlife species and their critical habitats from the region’s rapidly expanding linear infrastructure.

Estos Lineamientos de la CMAP de la UICN se basan en la mejor ciencia y práctica disponibles para mantener, mejorar y restaurar la conectividad ecológica entre áreas protegidas, otras medidas efectivas de conservación basadas en área (OMEC) y otros ecosistemas intactos. Por primera vez, esta publicación introduce una definición común y recomienda el reconocimiento formal de los corredores ecológicos para que sirvan como bloques de construcción críticos de redes ecológicas en conjunto con áreas protegidas y OMEC. Además, estos Lineamientos también incluyen 25 estudios de caso que demuestran los enfoques actuales para conservar la conectividad ecológica y las redes ecológicas.
