Nature’s Network is a collaborative effort among 13 states, the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and nongovernmental agencies to identify the best opportunities for conserving intact habitat, supporting imperiled species, and connecting natural areas across the Northeast region. The project lays the groundwork for voluntary, unified conservation action across the region, from Maine to Virginia. Many data products from the project are available in this gallery. You can also visit naturesnetwork.org for more information, bundled download links, and case studies from users.

Abstract: Connectivity modeling has been a tool available to the conservation community
since the 1980s that guides our responses to habitat fragmentation. While the sophistication
of computer modeling continues to grow, on-the-ground delivery remains challenging and
lacks urgency. We present an approach to scale up delivery and do so within effective
timeframes. The approach, termed ANCHOR (Areawide Networks to Connect Habitat and
Optimize Resiliency), is grounded in connectivity science but executed in a manner that
is flexible, expandable, and measurable. ANCHOR goes beyond the traditional protected
area focus for establishing connected biomes to maximize the contributions of existing
public lands and expand private landowner participation. The approach is applied using
an umbrella species to represent a faunal group and/or multiple taxa to deliver co-benefits
of landscape connectivity. Public lands receive connectivity rankings that are then used to
engage potential connectivity partners who commit land units and collectively monitor
improvements in habitat quality and landscape resiliency. The ANCHOR approach can
guide unprecedented participation across agencies and departments to create public lands
networks, while private and corporate lands establish landscape connections. To illustrate
the approach, we present an example of native grasslands conservation in the central and
eastern U.S. and an emerging partnership with the Department of Defense.

Mississippi Army National Guard
The missions of the Mississippi Army National Guard (1798) and the Mississippi Air National Guard (1939) are now, and always have been, dual in nature. The state mission is: to provide protection of life and property, and uphold the preservation of peace, order and public safety for the citizens of Mississippi, under the leadership and control of the governor. The federal mission is straightforward: to serve for the common defense, under Presidential authority, in times of national emergency or war.
