FWS Region-5 NALCC Representative Species Approach: This folder contains background materials introducing the "representative species" approach Region-5 began prior to the formal adoption by the Service to promote a surrogate species approach (to inform landscape-level conservation.)

AppLCC Species Database: This access database includes a search feature which will easily query species by: State, LCC Global Trust, Common Name, Scientific Name, Habitat Type, or any combination of these.

AppLCC Global Trust Species - Lists for each State: Wildlife species considered an 'LCC Global Trust': listed by state (Excludes fish)

Species List & Habitat Association List: This folder contains a collection of species lists developed for the Appalachians from several different perspectives. The first 8 files are summary reports based on an Access database developed by the AppLCC. The underlying data exists elsewhere on the Portal as an Access Database and include listing by State. The database was developed from SWAP lists and FWS lists. The remaining lists are either earlier species lists developed by the AppLCC or species lists generated by partners. All of these are collected here to support development of a potential surrogate species list for the AppLCC.
