GUIDING CONSERVATION
The Central Grasslands Roadmap Initiative provides biome-level guidance to increase the capacity for conservation of North America's Central Grasslands, spanning 700 million acres across Indigenous Lands, Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.
By bringing together diverse nations and seven sectors, the Roadmap identifies a shared vision, common principles, and collaborative priorities for the people and organizations living and working on the Grasslands.
ELEVATING GRASSLANDS
As one of North America's largest and most vital ecosystems, the Central Grasslands provide critical support for agriculture, food security, rural communities and the economy, through key functions including water supply, soil health, resiliency, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration.
The Grasslands need our attention and stewardship.
INSPIRING COLLABORATION
Central Grasslands Roadmap Initiative partners from Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Indigenous/First Nations include:
Ranching and Agriculture *** Foundations & Funders *** Industry Partners *** Academia
NGOs & Conservation Organizations *** Federal agencies *** State and Provincial Agencies
WORKING TOGETHER EFFECTIVELY
With Rancher Collaboratives, Indigenous/First Nations Communities, and Ejidos leading the way, we can align priorities across organizations, share best practices throughout the biome, and focus on scaling conservation strategies that are the most critical to save our grasslands over the next decade.
We must think and act differently.
