Summary
1. Guide near-term focus for GNLCC resource allocations given the broad array of stressors, drivers, targets, geographies, and partners/partnerships.
a. low hanging fruit (most approachable), greatest need, or toughest nut?
b. focus on areas where progress is in motion or underserved areas/targets
The Steering Committee and Advisory Team expressed support for following the ‘Shared Landscape Outcomes’ model pairing one stressor with a goal or (conservation target). The 2 existing are “Connectivity & Land-Use Change” and “Aquatic Integrity and Invasives”
2. Create and provide longer-range guidance for Steering Committee members to understand LCC role for their organization, elucidate their needs from the LCC, and underpin program alignment with regional partnerships.
3. Frame a ‘crosswalk’ having (at least) 9 axes (GNLCC Goals, stressors, conservation targets, ‘common landscape issues’, geographies, partnerships, prior GNLCC investments, tactics and actions, temporal scale). A 9-dimension crosswalk is not possible; will require sets of information (tables).
a. Can visualize in a number of ways
b. “X-es” in a box represent a deeper set of information including ‘what’ (e.g., appropriate tactics for GNLCC, specific science need identification, foci for proposing measurable objectives, management actions for partner organizations, etc.), ‘who’ (organization with authorities, motivation, and resources to act), and ‘why’ (justify why an action is prioritized and elucidate how multiple conservation objectives can be met).
