Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCC) Network

Protecting natural and cultural resources is essential to sustaining our health and quality of life. Managing the landscapes that provide these resources has become increasingly challenging. The Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) are working to better integrate science and management to address climate change and other landscape scale issues all across the continent, Pacific Islands, and the Caribbean. The vision of the LCC Network is “Landscapes capable of sustaining natural and cultural resources for current and future generations.” By building a network that is holistic, collaborative, adaptive, and grounded in science, LCCs are working to ensure the sustainability of our economy, land, water, wildlife, and cultural resources. The 22 LCCs collectively form a network of resource managers and scientists who share a common need for scientific information and interest in conservation. Each LCC brings together federal, state, and local governments along with Tribes and First Nations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and interested public and private organizations. Our partners work collaboratively to identify best practices, connect efforts, identify science gaps, and avoid duplication through conservation planning and design. This poster provides information about the LCC Network and how practitioners for landscape conservation can support, become engaged, and join the LCC Network.
