Designing Sustainable Landscapes Project Factsheet

The Designing Sustainable Landscapes project is a foundational part of a larger set of tools to guide conservative decisions in the face of change. Designing Sustainable Landscapes builds upon and incorporates existing information for the Northeast such as consistent habitat classifications and maps of all the habitat types in the Northeast, as well as climate data and wildlife population data. With these tools, conservation managers will be able to make more informed conservation decisions about where and how much land protection and habitat restoration and other conservation actions are needed to sustain wildlife populations in the face of predicted changes to the landscape.
