Abstract:

The Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) is a voluntary network of partners working toward common goals in the Great Northern region. LCCs are intended to inform sustainable management of land, water, fish, wildlife, and cultural heritage resources in response to landscape-level challenges. The strategic conservation framework is intended to provide the landscape-level institutional and conceptual frameworks to facilitate cooperative and responsive adaptive management in the face of three common large-scale stressors: climate change, land development, and invasive species. This document presents an initial set of collective conservation targets that have been developed through a preliminary participatory process among federal, state, and tribal land management agencies and nongovernmental science stakeholders. The conservation targets (i.e., ecosystem processes, ecosystems or habitats, and species or focal resources) provide a common focus for organizations to move toward a collective landscape vision using specific ecological outcomes within the GNLCC.
