Title: Providing Coordination and Leadership to the Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks Landscape Conservation Cooperative F15AC00993. Abstract: The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) and US Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS or Service) entered into this Cooperative Agreement in September 2015, with a start date of January 1, 2016. The agreement was modified twice, to add funds and date extensions to complete activities, and to modify the scope of work to be accomplished under the umbrella of the agreement (Appendix A). Following are some highlights of the activities and scope of work that was included in the Cooperative Agreement: • The Agreement began at a time (2016) when the Gulf Coastal Plains & Ozarks Landscape...
Riparian Areas is an indicator of the Midwest Landscape Initiative’s (MLI) 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint. The Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation across the Midwest consisting of over 20 social and environmental values representing diverse interests across society. This indicator was chosen as a targetable, important feature of the MLI goals that will be used to track conditions over time and prioritize areas for conservation. Indicators were defined through elicitation and prioritization exercises with federal and state participants. Criteria for the indicators includes 1) actionable, 2) measurable, 3) relevant to multiple groups across the region, and/or 4) representative...
The 2023 Midwest Conservation Blueprint is a basemap of priority lands and waters for conservation in the Midwest. It consists of over 20 social and environmental values that represent diverse interests across society. It guides the realization of a thriving landscape of healthy lands and waters supporting wildlife, fish, and plants, embraced by all who live, work, and recreate in the Midwest. Specifically, it serves as an invitation to all those in the Midwest to better coordinate voluntary conservation actions and investments across the region by focusing and aligning conservation work across jurisdictions, attracting and directing funding sources for conservation, and connecting with conservation partners and...
The Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) is coordinating the Crown of the Continent Landscape Conservation Design (LCD) process to help land managers collectively achieve landscape-scale ecological objectives while working within agency and organizational jurisdictions and mandates. By bringing stakeholders together, the LCD provides the opportunity for land managers to prioritize and coordinate actions on the ground. Representing 42 stakeholder entities across 31,000 sq km (50,500 mi2) in Montana, Alberta, and British Columbia, we are developing spatial designs for 15 priority landscape features. Spatial design integrates stakeholder and subject matter expert knowledge and objectives of resource management plans with...
Around the globe, fish and wildlife managers are facing increasingly complex management issues because of multiscale ecological effects like climate change, species invasion, and land-use change. Managers seeking to prevent extinctions or preserve ecosystems are increasingly considering more interventionist techniques to overcome the resulting changes. Among those techniques, translocation methods that intentionally move species into new, less impacted habitats are being considered. These types of translocations are known by a range of terms, including “managed relocation” and “assisted migration,” but the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s Species Survival Commission (IUCN SSC, 2013) has proposed...

The Alberta wall to wall land-cover (LC) polygon vector layer circa 2010 (ABMIw2wLCV2010), version 1.0, is a map describing the spatial distribution of LC across the province of Alberta for the reference year 2010. The map legend consists of 11 LC classes (see below), and the map itself (i.e., this feature class) consists of a mosaic of roughly a million non-overlapping polygons of various sizes, from half a hectare (ha) to thousands of ha. The minimum mapping unit (MMU, or minimum polygon size) is 0.5 ha for aquatic features and 2 ha for the rest, and the Minimum Mapping Width (MMW) is two Landsat pixels (60 m). The file format chosen for the ABw2wLCV2000 is ESRI file geodatabase (gdb), and the cartographic projection...
