LP Members
The Landscape Partnership community represents scientists and natural and cultural resource managers from federal and state agencies, non-profit organizations, and tribal governments. The purpose of this community is to help coordinate and plan conservation actions at a landscape level. Partners can identify and maximize their work with others in the Landscape Partnership community.
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. Strategic planning and collaboration help address environmental threats beyond the capacities and capabilities of any one organization and lead to the protection of valued natural and cultural resources and the continued delivery of ecosystem services to surrounding communities.
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.
Working Lands for Wildlife
Through Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW), NRCS works with partners and private landowners to focus voluntary conservation on working landscapes. NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to agricultural producers, helping them plan and implement conservation practices that benefit target species and priority landscapes. Since 2012, NRCS has restored and protected 6.7 million acres of much-needed habitat for a variety of wildlife. These efforts have led to the rebound and recovery of many species, demonstrating the WLFW conservation model works.
