Drought and wildfire pose enormous threats to the integrity of natural resources that land managers are charged with protecting. Recent observations and modeling forecasts indicate that these stressors will likely produce catastrophic ecosystem transformations, or abrupt changes in the condition of plants, wildlife, and their habitats, in regions across the country in coming decades. In this project, researchers will bring together land managers who have experienced various degrees of ecosystem transformation (from not yet experiencing any changes to seeing large changes across the lands they manage) to share their perspectives on how to mitigate large-scale changes in land condition. The team will conduct surveys...
As conservation increases its emphasis on implementing change at landscape-level scales, multiagency, cross-boundary, and multi-stakeholder networks become more important. These elements complicate traditional notions of learning. To investigate this further, we examined structures of learning in the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs), which include the entire US and its territories, as well as parts of Canada, Mexico, and Caribbean and Pacific island states. We used semi-structured interviews, transcribed and analyzed using NVivo, as well as a charrette-style workshop to understand the difference between the original stated goals of individual LCCs and the values and purposes expressed as the collaboration...
This report outlines the process that was taken to develop Performance Measures for the LCC Network, as well as the outcome, which consists of a suite of measures. We have documented the process so that you can better understand the discussions and information that went into the development of a performance measures framework. Input came from interviews with LCC Coordinators, review of LCC documents, review of relevant performance measures frameworks from natural resources and socioeconomic sectors, interviews with users and designers of relevant frameworks, and a two-day framework design “charrette” with the LCC Performance Measures Working Group. Some key features that were incorporated in the framework for the...
