Center for Large Landscape Conservation
What is the Center for Large Landscape Conservation? We strategically connect ideas, individuals, and institutions to catalyze collaboration and amplify progress towards the imperative of our time: to conserve Earth’s resilient, vital large landscapes. Since large landscape conservation involves great geographical scales and touches many lives, it requires a collaborative effort—not something one organization can fully shoulder alone. We see ourselves as the “hub” for large landscape conservation, connecting people, organizations and resources to foster powerful solutions that respect diverse shareholders. Our Mission We catalyze, advance, and support large landscape conservation by: • advocating policies and strategies that champion ecological connectivity, • advancing science that informs critical decision-making, and • building communities of invested stakeholders around large landscape issues. Our Vision Our vision is a dynamic collaboration of ideas, institutions, and individuals that creates a network of connected natural areas resilient to large scale environmental challenges.
