What does the SALCC do?
Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources
![Page 2: What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e205503460f94b0b368/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Indicators and Targets: Why do they matter?
• The blueprint will need to paint a compelling picture of the future of the South Atlantic region
![Page 3: What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e205503460f94b0b368/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The blueprint will need to paint a compelling picture of the future of the South Atlantic region
• It needs to represent why we care about the ecosystems of the area
Indicators and Targets: Why do they matter?

Definitions
Goal: Desired conservation outcome that is difficult to
measure
Indicator: A metric that is designed to inform us easily and
quickly about the conditions of a system
Target: A measurable endpoint for an indicator

(biotic or abiotic)
• ~ 3 indicators per habitat
![Page 10: What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e205503460f94b0b368/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Criteria for indicator selection
Ecological criteria
• Ability to represent a variety of organisms and ecological attributes
within that habitat type throughout a major portion of the LCC
• Sensitivity to big landscape threats in the region while having
predictable and limited sensitivity to other factors such as natural
variations or disturbances (i.e., high signal to noise ratio)
Practical criteria
• Ease of monitoring with existing programs and resources
• Amount of overlap with existing plans and processes
• Ability to model indicator based on current data or existing projects

Criteria for indicator selection
Social criteria
• Ability to resonate with the American public
• Ability to link with an economic value
• Level of interest by public land or water managers
• Level of interest by private land or water managers
![Page 12: What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e205503460f94b0b368/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Criteria for target selection
o Amount of overlap with existing plans and processes
o Is the target achievable?
o Is there enough capacity to monitor the target?
o [In the future] Amount of overlap with cultural and socioeconomic
goals

Where we’re goingUsing indicators for blueprint development and reporting progress
![Page 40: What does the SALCC do? Mission: Create a shared blueprint for landscape conservation actions that sustain natural and cultural resources.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062801/56649e205503460f94b0b368/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Using the indicators
• How are we doing now?
• Impacts of future threats and potential actions
• Creating the blueprint
