CROWN OF THE CONTINENT
Landscape Conservation Design
Conservation without borders
Crown Managers Partnership (CMP) is leading integrative, data-informed conservation planning over the next 5 years. The goal is to bring all of the great science and planning across the Crown into a landscape scale ‘design’ that considers not only wildlife and ecosystems, but cultural, social, and economic priorities as well.
CMP and a vast diversity of stakeholders in the Crown have developed outstanding conservation programs focused on specific species and ecosystems (e.g., whitebark pine, native salmonids). We are now poised to collectively integrate these programs and actions across the landscape through collaborative visioning and optimization modeling.
Our Vision
Ensuring a resilient, connected landscape that supports healthy ecosystems and human communities
Goals:
To rely upon cutting-edge science, Indigenous knowledge, and modeling to collectively increase the resilience of waters, forests, and grasslands
To sustain healthy ecosystems, communities, and economies through working lands partnerships
To recognize the leadership, history, culture, and traditional territories of Indigenous peoples as we plan for the future
