Lists of species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) are powerful tools for revealing shared conservation priorities, enhancing collaboration, and securing additional conservation funding. In the northeastern US, such a list has served as a foundation for multi-state collaborations for conservation implementation.States in the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (SEAFWA) region have identified 6,682 SGCN in their wildlife action plans. Collaboratively developing a more targeted list of regional SGCNs will reflect shared conservation values and stewardship responsibilities, encourage cross-state work on those priority species, and substantively contribute to realization of the Southeast Conservation...

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) ecosystems in the southeastern United States have declined substantially from an estimated 92 million acres in the pre-Columbian time period to 4.3 million acres at present, largely due to agricultural conversion, urbanization and replacement by other forest types, notably loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). The open landscape character of longleaf pine ecosystems is characterized by a lower carbon stocking and prairie-like understory dominated by grasses and low woody vegetation . Lower carbon stocking combined with greater drought tolerance in longleaf pine suggest that longleaf pine stands generally consume less water relative to loblolly pine and slash pine dominated stands. The...

The Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) and Southeast Blueprint Blueprint continue to build on years of investment by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and partners to develop, refine, and apply conservation blueprints to advance on-the-ground conservation actions across the region. Astute Spruce, LLC and the USFWS collaborated closely in the first phase of this project “Enhanced User Engagement with Conservation Blueprints in the Southeastern U.S.” (F19AC00609) to develop a pilot version of the Southeast Conservation Blueprint Explorer specifically intended to make it easier to access, engage with, and interpret the Southeast Conservation Blueprint and underlying sub-regional conservation...

This project integrates a reforestation decision support model for priority forest breeding birds and a restoration decision support tool for the federally-threatened Louisiana Black Bear. It was developed specifically to focus habitat restoration projects on frequently flooded agricultural lands within priority portions of the delta of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, which were funded primarily by the Walton Family Foundation in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS) is a shared, long-term vision for the lands and waters that sustain fish and wildlife populations and improve human quality of life in the southeast United States and Caribbean. SECAS Coordination must reach beyond the conservation community and engage sectors of society that affect change to the lands and waters valuable to fish and wildlife into the future. These relationships are needed to support the steps necessary to regionally plan, implement and evaluate actions that sustain habitat, mitigate threats, and adapt to an uncertain future for forest, fish and wildlife resources. The challenge ahead is to define a sustainable landscape for fish and wildlife...
