ABSTRACT: This section of the Symposium will focus on the fundamental building blocks of the SECAS Conservation Blueprint Version 2.0. It will include a review of feedback heard and improvements made since Version 1.0, which was revealed in the fall of 2016. The SECAS Blueprint stitches together the work of multiple Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) into a map of shared conservation and restoration priorities across the Southeast and Caribbean. The Blueprint combines multiple datasets, tools, and resources into one cohesive map that can be shared by regional planners, highway departments, developers, businesses, and conservation professionals. An Interactive dialogue will solicit thoughts and reactions from the symposium participants including questions focused on barriers, gaps, individual data layers, and how the conservation partners might see themselves using these tools. The focus will be on the State Agency needs, with emphasis on the work under the State Wildlife Action Plans, and examples of how the Blueprint is being used will be provided. Additional dialogue will focus on improvements for Version 3.0 of the Blueprint. This section is a great opportunity to hear which conservation decisions the Blueprint can help you make and at what scale, and better familiarize attendees with the data layers that have been utilized thus far as well as the methods being used to stitch the various Blueprints together.
