The Biden-Harris Administration has set a bold agenda to address biodiversity, environmental justice, and climate change across the country. However, the details of how that agenda will be put into action have yet to be defined. In collaboration with the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, we attempted to provide those details through the creation of a roadmap report outlining the tangible steps necessary to achieve the administration’s conservation goals.
This roadmap, “Build Back a Better National Landscape Conservation Framework,” was crafted by the Northern Latitudes Partnerships at Alaska Conservation Foundation and the Center for Large Landscape Conservation, along with many individual experts in landscape conservation policy and practice.
In this roadmap, we assert that connecting regional, collaborative conservation partnerships through a nationwide network will be essential to accomplish the country’s conservation goals. Bottom-up, place-based approaches to conservation issues are central to the recommendations made throughout the roadmap, as is bringing together a full range of stakeholders from the very beginning of those conversations.
