Issues
-
Energy, climate change, working lands for wildlife, ecosystem services, equity and how society values these services - such as clean drinking water, outdoor recreation, and biological conservation - are key issues influencing the landscape. These issues and drivers of change are essential to understand and plan for in the management and protection of both natural and cultural resources in order to create a more sustainable landscape for wildlife and human communities.

Ecosystem Benefits & Risks
-
The FWS collaborated with the U.S. Forest Service to assess the benefits of and risks to the region's "ecosystem services" -- natural assets valued by people such as clean drinking water, outdoor recreation, forest products, and biological conservation. A wealth of data, maps, and other knowledge on ecosystem services and risks to their sustainability are now available and provide regional resources and tools for planners, managers, and the interested public.

Nature and Society
-
The field of research focused on "Nature and Society" seeks to understand society's attitudes and behaviors as it relates to how we maintain, protect, and enhance natural resources. It does so by applying data and information from social sciences to biological resource issues to explain why people value certain resources and the benefits they receive from those resources.

Energy
-
The Appalachians is rich in energy resources that meet national and regional demands for energy. As wind, natural gas, and oil energy development expand along with traditional coal, there is an increasing need for research to inform discussions on how to meet immediate and future energy needs while sustaining the health of natural places, biodiversity, and cultural resources that provide essential benefits to large cities and surrounding human communities.
