This forum addresses the pressing conservation challenges posed by climate change and other large-scale stressors. It highlights the need for collaborative resource management at landscape scales, engaging Tribal leadership and establishing shared conservation objectives. Since its inception in 2009, the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) network has aimed to better integrate science and management to inform decision-making. Participants are encouraged to engage through various roles, workshops, and grants to support tribal subsistence and Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) projects.
