The PICCC is one of 22 Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) that form a network of resource managers and scientists who share a common need for scientific information and interest in conservation. Each LCC brings together federal, state, and local governments along with Tribes and First Nations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and interested public and private organizations. The LCC partners work collaboratively to identify best practices, connect efforts, identify science gaps, and avoid duplication through conservation planning and design. By building a network that is holistic, collaborative, adaptive, and grounded in science, LCCs are working to ensure the sustainability of the economy, land, water, wildlife, and cultural resources in the face of climate change and other large scale issues.
