Landscape Conservation Cooperatives

Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) are applied conservation science partnerships focused on a defined geographic area that inform on-the-ground strategic conservation efforts at landscape scales. LCC partners include federal and states agencies, non-governmental organizations, universities, tribes, and others.

LCCs enable resource management agencies and organizations to collaborate in an integrated fashion within and across landscapes, providing scientific and technical support to inform landscape-scale conservation using adaptive management principles. LCCs engage in biological planning, conservation design, inventory and monitoring program design, and other types of conservation-based scientific research, planning and coordination.
