Partners
The Landscape Partnership community -- representing scientists and natural and cultural resource managers from federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations, and tribal government representatives -- is to help coordinate and plan conservation actions at a landscape level. Based on guidance from this conservation community, the partners are identifying and concentrating their efforts in working with interested partners in "focal areas."
These initial areas of collaborative planning and coordinated action represent conservation zones -- identified through our Landscape Conservation Design modeling effort -- that offer conservation opportunities for long-term protection of immense and unique biodiversity by maintaining connectivity among natural lands and functioning ecosystems. Such strategic planning and collaboration will help address environmental threats that are beyond the ability of any one organization to tackle and lead to the protection of valued natural and cultural resources and continued delivery of environmental benefits to surrounding human communities.
Atlantic Salmon Sea-run Fish Restoration in Maine
The State of Maine, the U.S. Government, federally recognized tribes, non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions are currently working together in Maine to recover wild Atlantic salmon and other diadromous fish. As a community of partners, we strive to successfully protect and recover these species through river-specific stocking programs for endangered Atlantic salmon, barrier removal projects, and habitat quality improvement initiatives for rivers, estuaries and marine environments.
Eastern Brook Trout
A diverse group of partners, including state fish and wildlife agencies, federal resource agencies, Indian tribes, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations, are working collaboratively to conserve eastern Brook Trout and their habitats. Established as the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV), this Fish Habitat Partnership has already produced several range-wide population assessment of wild Brook Trout; completed extensive work that identifies key threats to wild Brook Trout and their habitats; and developed conservation strategies that protect, enhance and restore wild Brook Trout.
Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership SARP
The Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) is a regional collaboration of natural resource and science agencies, conservation organizations and private interests developed to strengthen the management and conservation of aquatic resources in the southeastern United States.
Tennessee River Basin Network
Across the Tennessee River Basin is a collaboration within the Appalachian LCC bringing together multiple agencies and stakeholders in a joint effort to plan and deliver landscape conservation actions to protect one of the most diverse areas for aquatic species in North America.
Working Lands for Wildlife
A large and diverse number of partners and partnerships are collaborating to effect conservation across large working landscapes - balancing economic goals and ecological needs in rural communities. This portal will be used to support conservation of working landscapes, focusing largely on Farm Bill conservation programs managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and its Working Lands for Wildlife partnership. The portal supports technology transfer between NRCS-WLFW and its large spectrum of partners, including landowners. The workspace will allow back-and-forth sharing of learning materials, applied science, and field insights among professional biologists, foresters, and other experts and between professionals and the lay public. The strength of the Working Lands Workspace is creation of a platform that allows easy sharing of information, but we also support private workspaces for each partnership to share and edit draft documents, preliminary data, sensitive materials, and other information not intended for distribution.
