Webinar Next Week: An In-depth look at the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) & the Southeast Conservation Blueprint
Please join us for our next conversation in the Network’s ongoing Landscape Conservation in Action webinar series – Wednesday, November 10th, at 2:00 pm (ET). Mallory Martin and Hilary Morris from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will describe the evolution, implementation, and future direction of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS). SECAS and the Southeast Conservation Blueprint serve as a regional forum for collaboration and a science and information hub for 15 states and portions of the Caribbean. This collaborative landscape partnership helps inform conservation decisions across jurisdictions to design and achieve a connected network of lands and waters and improve people’s quality of life in light of rapid changes across the Southeast.
Webinar Title: An In-depth look at the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) & the Southeast Conservation Blueprint
Description: This webinar will describe the evolution, implementation, and future direction of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS), a collaborative landscape partnership focused on designing and achieving a connected network of lands and waters to sustain thriving fish and wildlife populations and improve quality of life for people in light of rapid changes in the Southeast, including urbanization and climate change.
The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is the primary product of SECAS. The Blueprint provides a collaboratively developed approach, involving diverse stakeholders and partners, to prioritize and focus conservation actions strategically on the landscape, incorporating key concepts of connectivity, buffering, and linkage to promote biodiversity and sustain the integrity of ecosystems and the services they provide (e.g., clean air, abundant clean water, natural areas for recreation and enjoyment, etc.).
SECAS provides value to its partners as a regional forum for collaboration and as a science and information hub throughout 15 states and portions of the Caribbean to inform conservation decisions across jurisdictions.
