Landscape Features

As we design a future Crown landscape that describes how we can maintain and enhance robust, diverse wildlife populations, ecological resilience, and healthy durable communities and economies, our analyses focus on a set of 'Landscape Features': specific elements of the whole landscape that are important to LCD stakeholders. Landscape Features include both coarse (habitat types, connectivity) and fine (species) ecological features as well as key social, cultural, and economic features important to the peoples of the Crown landscape. The 15 ecological features we focus on were selected by the Leadership Team through a structured process that evaluated written management plans, expert opinion, and conservation status. The social, cultural, and economic features are being developed by a subteam.

• Coarse Ecological Features (Habitat Types)

• Fine Ecological Features (Species)

• Social, Cultural, and Economic Features

The Social, Cultural, and Economic Features subteam is developing these features. We will share our work here in the upcoming months.
