Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC) Council

The purpose of the recently formed Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC) Council is to support the cooperative conservation and sustainable resource management efforts of the LCC Network, to assist the LCC Network in achieving its goals, to contribute to building a constituency of partners, and to help sustain the LCC initiative. The LCC Council consists of up to twenty-seven participants, including Federal agency directors, Tribal governments, indigenous representation, state agency directors, non-governmental organizations, a LCC coordinator, major partnership participants, international representation, and other high-level officials in conservation organizations and agencies. The overall goal of the Council is to add value to the LCC initiative in partnership with the LCC Network. The LCC Council serve as advocates, support communication and education efforts, broaden engagement of partners and collaborators, bring a unique and high-level perspective to the LCC Network, and aim to increase participation and funding for the LCC Network. This poster provides information about the LCC Council and how practitioners for landscape conservation can become engaged and support the LCC Council in its efforts. Lynn Scarlet and Marc Miller are the co-chairs of the LCC Council and may join the authors for the poster session.
