MUST READ: 2012-11-01_SALCC Draft NR Indicator Process
-
From the draft document: "Why are indicators needed?
Designing and evaluating the success of a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions
in the South Atlantic will require some specific measures of what success would look like for
natural resources. The ecosystems of the South Atlantic are complex and indicators help
simplify the modeling and monitoring of those systems. We cannot measure everything all of
the time. Indicators are designed to integrate many ecological functions and represent other
components of the system that are either too expensive or time consuming to model and
measure." [And] "How will indicators be used?
Indicators will be used to help design a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that
sustain natural and cultural resources in the South Atlantic region. This blueprint will include
an interactive map depicting the key places and actions needed to sustain those resources in
the face of future change (e.g., urban growth, climate change, sea level rise). Indicators and
measurable targets for those indicators will be used to help design this interactive map and
evaluate the effectiveness of actions based on it."

Regarding major habitat restoration efforts across large areas of the AppLCC geography -- the Central Appalachian Spruce Restoration Initiative. This annual report is for the Northern portion of the range. A similar Initiative has begun in the Southern extent of the range through the TNC TN Chapter. The Southern Range Spruce distribution is more of a "sky island" distribution.

State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs)
-
An Agenda for Conservation Success in Every State: In order to receive funds through the Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program and the State Wildlife Grants Program, Congress charged each state and territory with developing a wildlife action plan. These proactive plans, known technically as “comprehensive wildlife conservation strategies,” assess the health of each state’s wildlife and habitats, identify the problems they face, and outline the actions that are needed to conserve them over the long term.
All 50 States and five U.S. territories developed a State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) in 2005. State Wildlife Action Plans outline the steps that are needed to conserve wildlife and habitat before they become too rare or costly to restore. Taken as a whole, they present a national action agenda for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered.
