Fact Sheet: Science Investments
-
Our work and achievements in 2016 and 2017 built upon the collaborative scientific foundation
established in our earlier years, while continuing towards a vision of maintaining a landscape
that supports the special biological and cultural resources of the Appalachians. It’s helpful to reflect
on the systematic advances made by our regional partnership in terms of its actions, decisions, and
our investments—both in terms of the science but also in terms of strengthening the partnership
through investment in shared resources.

Fact Sheet: AppLCC Overview
-
Today a range of monumental conservation challenges confronts the Appalachians. This includes the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats; disruptions in natural disturbance regimes; and expanding major land-use changes that are occurring on a grand scale. Climate change will further exacerbate these challenges. The magnitude of these landscape-level changes requires a shift from traditional local and single-species conservation approaches toward a more comprehensive scale to protect species, habitats, and ecosystems. The Appalachian Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) serves as a catalyst for conservation collaboration by providing the tools, products, and data, resource managers and partners need to address the environmental threats that are beyond the scope of any one agency.

Assessing Vulnerability of Species and Habitats to Large-scale Impacts
-
New vulnerability assessments for 41 species and 3 habitats in the Appalachians are now available. The conservation community can view and search each of these assessments by vulnerability scores, conservation status ranks, state and subregion of assessment, and higher taxonomy. In addition, principle investigators NatureServe compiled the results of 700 species assessments previously completed by other researchers as well as assessments on several habitats.
