Resources
In this section we are inviting the Landscape Partnership Community to share resources that will support practitioners and community members learn more about equity and inclusion in the context of working lands and conservation.
The Anchor Approach to Connectivity
ANCHOR is a new conservation approach that builds Areawide Networks to Connect Habitat and Optimize Resiliency. The approach guides investments in strategic “anchor” locations to connect wildlife populations, enhance landscape resiliency, and strengthen rural economies.
Background on equity and inclusion
Resources to learn about the experiences of diverse and underserved communities and how inequity and exclusionary practices have shaped conservation, farming, landscapes, and communities. These resources are just a starting place: the best way to learn about the specific needs, interests, and priorities of communities is by listening directly to community members in your area and the community-based groups that serve them.
Definitions
For reference, below are definitions that the Landscape Partnership currently uses to understand and conceptualize different terms associated with equity and inclusion. Different resources shared on this page may use different definitions.
Technical and financial assistance for communities
Explore potential technical and financial assistance for diverse and/or underserved communities and producers. The Landscape Partnership does not certify or guarantee any funding services and the reader must perform their own due diligence in selecting any funding service.
How to work with communities
Resources on how to work effectively and respectfully with diverse communities, from initial outreach and communication to ongoing engagement and partnership. This is especially relevant when working with communities that have different backgrounds, identities, and experiences than the conservation professional.
