Long Term (>4 years)
Supplemental Information: The vision of these collaborative partnerships is that they are applied conservation science partnerships with two main functions. The first is to provide the science and technical expertise needed to support conservation planning at landscape scales – beyond the reach or resources of any one organization. The second function is to promote collaboration among their members in defining shared conservation goals and focus on promoting the benefits of restoring fire-dependent ecosystems to people, property, and landscapes. With these functions in mind, partners can identify where and how they will take action, within their own authorities and organizational priorities, to best contribute to the larger conservation effort. The partnership does not place limits on partners; rather, they help partners to see how their activities can "fit" with those of other partners to achieve a bigger and more lasting impact.
