The Midwest Landscape Initiative (MLI) developed a Regional Species of Greatest Conservation Need (RSGCN) List to provide an effective, collaborative focus and approach for regional wildlife diversity conservation in the Midwest. The Midwest RSGCN effort applied a process initiated in the Northeast, advanced in the Southeast, and refined by the MLI At-Risk Species Working Group, to identify RSGCN for the Midwest. The Midwest RSGCN process evaluated 1,817 SGCN across 13 taxonomic groups and selected 340 as RSGCN. Taxa groups included mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, crayfish, mussels, Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), bumble and solitary bees, Lepidoptera (butterflies, skippers and moths), mayflies,...
The threats and anthropogenic influences on conservation are often global in scale (e.g., climate change, invasive species, etc), however, the relevant decisions and actions to conserve natural areas and ecosystem services occur within unique jurisdictions. Thus, the socio-ecological complexity of these problems requires collaboration across large spatial areas and diverse community interests. However, the interoperability of different planning or decision-support products across decision makers, jurisdictions, and objectives can impede integration and collaboration across space and scale. The objective of the Midwest Conservation Blueprint is to provide a comprehensive framework to coordinate voluntary conservation...
