Landscape Conservation CooperativesWhat are they?
Science‐based conservation partnerships that:
• include federal, provincial and state agencies, tribes, conservation organizations, and universities within a geographically defined area
• develop landscape‐scale conservation plans and designs, and the foundational science, that will sustain natural resources into the future
• inform and support collaborative conservation delivery on the ground
