The Conservation Framework
This brochure summarizes the product of a multi-year effort conducted by the
Partnership to document the resources of the BRBNA and identify conservation
priorities. The full document – the Conservation Framework – will
be available at soon here.
The Conservation Framework includes a detailed description of the region, its districts, the partnership, and the conservation framework mapping process. Over fifty GIS data layers support the Framework, including vegetation, wildlife, soils, roads, and waterbodies. Additional conservation priority maps, created by weighting various data layers, are also part of the Framework.
Twelve appendices address a wide variety of topics including a detailed description of BBRNA lands, conservation tools, detailed mapping, county planning profiles, and BRBNA partner accomplishments in the region.
| The BRBNA Conservation Partnership wishes to thank the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation for their generous grants, without which this project would not have been possible. |
