“Landscape Conservation Designs” or LCDs are one of the unique contributions that LCCs bring to the conservation agenda. They provide the regional conservation perspective to assist local decision-making and collaborative conservation actions. This suite of videos provide a general overview of this emerging aspect of conservation planning and illustrates the iterative nature of conservation planning and design. Both the initial modeling design (LCD1) and the subsequent and more refined LCD2 are presented, which integrates a highly refined aquatic condition scoring system to better evaluate how best to represent a connected system and reflect its current ecological integrity.
