The Conservation Resource Webinar by Web Editor, last updated: Aug 12, 2019 10:53 PM: This webinar details LCCs Conservation Framework objectives. These include: 1. Agreement on goals and need for a regional framework to achieve resource conservation incorporating ecological and human needs; 2. An understanding of how completed, ongoing and proposed RCN/LCC projects fit into a common framework; 3. An understanding of how the elements in this framework will inform decision-making by the conservation community; and 4. An understanding on how the remainder of the workshop fits into the framework.

Assessing Vulnerability of Species and Habitats to Large-scale Impacts by Rosanne Hessmiller, last updated: Aug 12, 2019 10:48 PM: New vulnerability assessments for 41 species and 3 habitats in the Appalachians are now available. The conservation community can view and search each of these assessments by vulnerability scores, conservation status ranks, state and subregion of assessment, and higher taxonomy. In addition, principle investigators NatureServe compiled the results of 700 species assessments previously completed by other researchers as well as assessments on several habitats.

Classification and Mapping of Cave and Karst Resources by Matthew Cimitile, last updated: Aug 12, 2019 10:48 PM: Cave and karst systems are unique environments that occur throughout the Appalachians. They provide habitat for a diverse array of species and are an important source of domestic water supply for Appalachian communities. However, a lack of classification and mapping information on these ecosystems creates a significant barrier to conservation. In order to develop and deliver landscape-level planning tools, it is essential to develop an Appalachian-wide map depicting where cave and karst habitats and resources occur across the landscape. Researchers from an array of organizations were funded by the LCC to develop a series of deliverables, including data tables, geospatial information layers, and maps on these ecosystems.
