Taking Action

The ultimate goal of the assessments is to conserve the plants, animals and natural communities of these ecoregions over the long term. Achieving that goal will require the work of many: private landowners, government agencies, land use planners, civic leaders, concerned citizens and non-governmental organizations. The Nature Conservancy looks forward to working with these and other partners to put the assessment into action.

Potential uses include:

• Providing a conservation context for borough and community land use planning
• Informing state and federal agency land use policies and habitat protection efforts 
• Prioritizing important habitat and providing background for species assessments 
• Supporting the work of local conservation organizations
• Driving research priorities 
• Guiding Donors in directing their philanthropy toward the most effective and urgent conservation priorities in the region.
