Landscape Conservation Design: Conserving Sustainable Landscapes to Maintain Ecosystem Functions and Services for People and Wildlife

This workshop track consists of 5 sessions about how Landscape Conservation Cooperatives and others are approaching landscape conservation design. The first two sessions include introductions to Landscape Conservation Cooperatives and Landscape Conservation Design, followed by presentations related to various phases of the design process. Subsequent sessions focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of Landscape Conservation Design in marine and international settings. Most of the sessions conclude with a panel discussion, giving the audience an opportunity to ask questions and engage in the discussion. The last two sessions include a review of approaches to landscape conservation design in the Eastern United States and a World Café on Identifying Resources Needed for Successful Development and Implementation of Landscape Conservation Design, concluding the track with an opportunity to engage in a conversation to identify stakeholders, design processes, science information, and products needed to successfully ensure multi-sector integration in landscape conservation design.
