The Center for Large Landscape Conservation (CLLC) has been awarded the 2024 Distinguished Landscape Practitioner Award by the North American Chapter of the International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE-NA) at their annual meeting in Oklahoma City, April 1-5th. This honor is bestowed to individuals who have made outstanding contributions over a period of years to the application of the principles of landscape ecology to real-world problems.
CLLC has been at leading edge of applying landscape ecology principles and practice towards the conservation of large landscapes in the USA, across North America, and globally. The CLLC is a unique organization that works with experts, practitioners, and local communities to reverse the fragmentation of Earth’s landscapes and restore nature’s resilience to climate change. The CLLC’s work has been fundamental to the development and maintenance of infrastructure needed for the connectivity of landscapes to facilitate conservation actions that quickly scale for maximum conservation effect. Notable examples include: analysis and guidance to target and inform recent and emerging federal US policies and programs to enhance wildlife habitat conservation and reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions; developing and applying connectivity analyses to guide US federal resource planning initiatives; leading the IUCN Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group and its key role in developing Guidelines for Conserving Connectivity though Ecological Networks and Corridors and Ecological Connectivity in the Development of Roads, Rails, and Canals; and hosting partnership such as the Network for Landscape Conservation.
