The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) released its Review of the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives today, which concludes that a landscape approach is needed to meet the nation’s conservation challenges and that the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) provide a framework for addressing that need.
The Academy’s recommendations will further help each organization and agency, including the FWS, engaged in the LCC Network to take stock of progress to ensure that, collectively, the program is efficiently and effectively addressing landscape-scale conservation priorities using the best science available.
