Appendix G

Goals of Individual LCCs Compared to Goals of the LCC Network Strategic Plan

The National Academy of Sciences Review Panel asked the Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) staff to map the missions and goals of the individual LCCs to the goals and objectives of the LCC Network—“a mission map.”

LCC Network Goal-Objective # LCC Network Objective Description
1-1 Identify shared conservation objectives, challenges, and opportunities to inform landscape conservation at continental, LCC, island, and regional scales.
1-2 Develop then deliver (through partners) regional landscape conservation goals and designs that support resiliency and adaptation to both global change and regional landscape challenges, while ensuring the inclusion of all partners and stakeholders necessary for successful conservation.
1-3 Integrate regional or other scale-specific conservation designs to align and focus conservation action at the network scale, within available authorities.
1-4 Identify and obtain the resources required at the LCC and network scales to inform, develop, and support implementation of the conservation designs and other conservation actions.
1-5 Monitor the effectiveness of conservation design(s) and design application in terms of achieving stated outcomes, then revise as appropriate.
2-1 Create a high-functioning organizational culture for LCCs and the network.
2-2 Identify and explore opportunities for collaborative actions within the LCC Network.
2-3 Demonstrate, monitor, and evaluate the value and effectiveness of the LCC Network.
2-4 Identify new and existing training and networking opportunities for the LCC Network.
2-5 Leverage conservation planning to be opportunistic in taking advantage of current and new funding sources for conservation.
2-6 Create a network-level system for prioritizing operational needs at network and regional levels, as appropriate.
3-1 Identify shared science, information, and resource needs at the network scale.
3-2 Promote collaborative production of science and research—including human dimensions—as well as the use of experience and indigenous and traditional ecological knowledge among LCCs, Climate Science Centers (CSCs), and other interested parties; use these to inform resource management decisions, educate local communities, and address shared needs.
3-3 Demonstrate and evaluate the value and improve the effectiveness of LCC science.
4-1 Communicate the existence and application of LCC Network science, products, and tools to partners and stakeholders in a form that is understandable, publicly accessible, engaging, and relates to what matters to end users and society.
4-2 Increase two-way communication with, outreach to, and engagement of key partners across the LCC Network as well as new partners to expand the LCC Network and increase conservation impact and achievements.
4-3 Develop and implement a communications and outreach plan that identifies and uses appropriate media to clearly convey to appropriate target audiences the value and tangible successes of the LCC Network at various scales.
4-4 Build communications capacity and capabilities within the LCC Network to effectively communicate the purposes and successes of the LCC Network.
4-5 Share lessons learned across the LCC Network.
