Appalachian LCC Conservation Design: A phased, multi-year effort by Clemson researchers and technical teams is analyzing terrestrial and aquatic resources within the Appalachian LCC geography to help identify places where conservation efforts will be most strategic and effective in achieving conservation goals.

Science Applications: Fostering Science Excellence for the Service: This video answers two questions: 1. What does the Science Applications program work on and; 2. Why is it important to the public and the staff of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Silva, Jeronimo: I have been working with wildlife research and natural resources conservation since 2010. My experience reflects my interest in stream ecology, endangered species demographics and habitat requirements, spatial modeling, and assessing species status using molecular approaches. As a private land’s biologist, I am excited to transition from research into management, and assist with the implementation of conservation practices that will enhance Hellbender habitat across several watersheds in Tennessee.

Landscape Partnership Resources Library: A collection of all content housed in Resources on the website.

Landscape Partnership Map Products: A collection of map products that feature depictions of various land cover types, distribution of public lands, and locations of natural gas deposits, etc.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Structured Decison Making Webinar Series: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a series of web conferences to engage practitioners in the process of structured decision making using a variety of case studies. Structured Decision Making (SDM) is a decision analysis framework that we can apply to conservation problems to integrate strong science with values, laws, and policies. Conservation issues often involve multiple goals and actions, levels of uncertainty, and a complex understanding of systems. SDM helps conservation professionals develop a process to determine objectives, alternatives, and optimal solutions for environmental issues.

Whole-System Landscape Vision: Thomas Minney, Central Appalachians Program Director

Whole-System Landscape Vision: A presentation on The Nature Conservancy work pertaining to landscape conservation and the Central Appalachians Integrated Landscape Project.

Development by Design: The Central Appalachians harbor some of the most biologically diverse temperate broad‐leaf forests in the world. These forests provide large interior forest habitats, migratory pathways, and nested rare communities. But new energy development is clearing and fragmenting these precious forests. This presentation provides a briefing related to planning, monitoring, and evaluating environmental impacts of marcellus shale drilling.

Development by Design: Nels Johnson, Deputy State Director, and Tamara Gagnolet, Spatial Analyst, The Nature Conservancy in Pennsylvannia.
