Cooperative Landscape Conservation

Program Information

Popular name

Cooperative Landscape Conservation Landscape

Program Number

15.669

Program objective

The Collaborative Landscape Conservation program promotes an inclusive approach to conservation by convening and facilitating diverse partnerships to address shared conservation challenges and create a network of healthy lands and waters where fish, wildlife, plants, and people thrive. The program advances adaptive leadership in landscape conservation regionally and nationally by identifying shared priorities with states, tribes, private landowners, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) coordinating actions, and informing decision-making. We support research to improve strategic conservation at the landscape scale, including development of data-driven decision support capability that make collaborative conservation achievable and support resilient landscape design which considers wildlife and ecosystems as well as cultural, social, and economic priorities. We support building collaborative conservation and the co-production of science by increasing capacity and support to effectively engage partners, synthesize information, and produce strategic approaches for landscape conservation.
