A major role of the LCC is to think about and facilitate conservation planning at a larger spatial and temporal scale. Although there is a plethora of successful conservation agencies doing work on multiple scales throughout Appalachia, these efforts are often limited in scope. In order to accomplish the vision of landscape-scale conservation planning, the LCC has developed this integrated platform -- a planning tool -- for broad dissemination of key conservation literature, analytical products and information, and other resources to help guide land managers with on-the-ground conservation action throughout the region.
In this section of the portal you will find a framework that supports a systematic conservation planning effort, ranging from setting conservation targets to ultimately measuring conservation success. The web page navigation is presented as a series to allow the reader to progress in an intuitive and strategic planning manner. In addition, products such as a web-enabled map viewer or predictive modeling results and decision support tools that the user select key input variables can be dynamically executed.
