Resilient and Connected Landscapes for Terrestrial Conservation in the Central U.S.
Subject Tags

Abstract
The climate is changing, and nature is in flux. Plant and animal populations must move to adapt and survive. How do we ensure that the North American landscape will continue to support its iconic wildlife and vast botanical diversity? That nature will continue to provide the wealth of materials, food, medicines and clean water we depend on?
The results of this report provide a blueprint for conservation that aims to sustain the region's natural diversity by allowing species to adapt to climate impacts and thrive.
