Land managers are faced with increasing management challenges such as land use conversion, sensitive species protection and recovery, invasive species, water scarcity, and a range of other complex issues—all of which are amplified by climate change. In response, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) are partnering to develop the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC). This effort represents a broad vision of conservation that includes working with partners across landscapes to ensure that the necessary science capacity is in place to successfully address these 21st-century conservation challenges. We are in the process of reaching out to resource managers and others within the Desert LCC, and invite you to contact us if you are interested in participating or would like more information.
