Four Corners Adaptation Forum Durango, CO 29-30 August 2017 SRLCC Geographic Focus Where multiple focal resources would benefit Where significant numbers of Partners are already working or have indicated a desire to work together
SRLCC Geographic Focus
- Where multiple focal
resources would benefit
- Where significant numbers of
Partners are already working
- r have indicated a desire to
work together
- Where there is opportunity to
leverage work done by partners or the SRLCC
- Where partners have
indicated they have the dollars and desire to design and implement conservation actions
What is an LCD?
Key Elements:
- Partnership-Driven: Cross-jurisdictional and multi-sector and
- perates using collaborative partner-driven processes
- Shared Vision: Consensus on Targets, Change Agents (Stressors) and
Measurable Indicators
- Desired Future Condition: Spatially Explicit
- Assessment of Current & Projected Conditions: Spatially Explicit
- Conservation Features: e.g., connectivity, ecosystem processes,
societal targets; Identifying conservation features allows partners to link goals to specific factors driving change
- Strategies: Collaborative recommendations on achieving the vision,
goals, and objectives
- Spatial products identifying optimal places for actions
- Iterative/Adaptive
Spatial strategy:
- Core… concentrated
areas of high ecological value
- Buffer… around core
areas to prevent future degradation
- Connect… linkages
between core areas to facilitate connectivity How much, o , of what, , wher ere e & W Why
Landscape Conservation Design Generalized Approach
Core
Buffer Connect
Implement Conservation Network Tactics:
- Protect…
purchase, easement, etc.
- Manage…
manipulate
- Restore…
recreate it
- Others…
Landscape Conservation Design Generalized Approach
Core
Buffer Connect
Protect Manage Restore Priorities: High med low
Landscape Conservation Design It is not managing landscapes It is managing resources at landscape-scales
Conservation Opportunity Areas:
Analytical Framework to identify Conservation Opportunity Areas & Strategies
Ecosystem Vulnerability (Current and Future) Potential Management Actions Existing Conservation Efforts Opportunity Areas
WHAT DOES THE PRODUCT LOOK LIKE?

CONSERVATION VALUE SUMMARY
- Overlay of biodiversity
conservation value.
- Includes CNHP data,
potential habitat models, mapped wetlands, and CPW Species Activity Maps (big game).
- Weighted by Natural
Heritage species status ranks and federal legal status.

Partnering on multi-species aquatic assessments to inform efficient conservation delivery

Multispecies Assessments
- What are they?
- Species richness vs.
representation
- Threat level
- Connectivity
