LCC partner WWF Northern Great Plains Program has made exciting progress over the last six months. The Northern Plains Conservation Network unveiled a new interactive web map for the ecoregion, which reflects a regional assessment of conservation opportunities in the Northern Great Plains and will allow users to better understand natural resources on their lands, as well as how threats like climate change and energy development may influence those resources now and into the future. American Prairie Reserve also conducted its first prescribed burn, and the Oglala Lakota Nation and National Park Service are making major strides toward the creation of the nation’s first Tribal National Park.
Managing Director Martha Kauffman invites you to read the WWF Northern Great Plains Program December 2012 Newsletter to learn how WWF’s work with partners made these and other developments possible.
