The Southeast Conservation Blueprint can be used to identify priority areas for conservation, based on a suite of natural and cultural resource indicators and a connectivity analysis. The Blueprint can be accessed through a suite of easy-to-use online tools, or by requesting help from a team of "user support" staff dedicated to helping the conservation community incorporate the Blueprint into their plans, proposals, and decisions. In this webinar, learn more about this 'living, spatial plan,' including the underlying science and how it can help you in your work.

The Blueprint identifies areas where conservation action would have the biggest impact for a connected network of lands and waters. A range of conservation activities could benefit those priority areas, including management, economic incentives, and protection. Underlying layers in the Blueprint can help identify important areas for corridors, birds, water quality, climate resilience, prescribed burning, reforestation, and much more.

300+ people from over 130 organizations have used or are using the Blueprint in their work, which has helped bring in more than $80 million in conservation funding to protect and restore over 100,000 acres, As a living plan, the Blueprint is regularly updated to incorporate improved data, input from new partners, and feedback from Blueprint users.

Examples of how the Blueprint have been used include:

  • A non-profit organization used the Blueprint to support a critical source of conservation funding at its state legislature
  • A private company used the Blueprint in a confidential analysis to support its business
  • A broad coalition of 49 military and conservation partners used the Blueprint to help establish a new Sentinel Landscapes Partnership
  • A local African-American Community organization used the Blueprint to help communicate the natural resource benefits of a cultural heritage trail
  • A state wildlife agency used the Blueprint to support a proposal for funding to protect coastal wetlands and improve public access to recreation opportunities
  • Longleaf pine conservation partnerships used the Blueprint to identify restoration and management priorities

 

The Southeast Conservation Blueprint is the primary product of the Southeast Conservation Adaptation Strategy (SECAS), a regional conservation partnership working to connect the lands and waters of the Southeast and the Caribbean.
