FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1	THE CENTER FOR LARGE LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION (CLLC) AMPLIFIES COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL CONSERVATION EFFORTS THROUGH RESEARCH, ADVANCING SCIENCE-BASED POLICY AND GUIDELINES, AND IMPLEMENTING "ON THE GROUND" PRACTICE IN AREAS OF CONSERVATION IMPORTANCE. OUR WORK DEFINES AND ADVANCES BEST PRACTICES IN LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY THROUGHOUT THE U. S. AND GLOBALLY. WE ENGAGE IN FOUR WAYS: (1) WE DEVELOP AND APPLY SCIENCE TO RECONNECT FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES AND PROVIDE SAFE PASSAGE FOR WILDLIFE AND PEOPLE; (2) WE INFORM NEW POLICY AND LAW, AND DEVELOP INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS, TO SUPPORT AND ACCELERATE LARGE LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION LOCALLY, NATIONALLY, AND GLOBALLY; (3) WE CONNECT PROFESSIONALS AND DECISION MAKERS TO SHARE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES BY COORDINATING AND PARTICIPATING IN NETWORKS WORLDWIDE; AND (4) WE SUPPORT COMMUNITY-BASED PLANNING AND PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION TO PROTECT AND MANAGE LARGE LANDSCAPES. COLLECTIVELY, OUR WORK RESTORES THE INTEGRITY AND NATURAL CONNECTIVITY OF FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES AND ADVANCES RESILIENCE TO MITIGATE THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A	UNITED STATES CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION PROGRAM - CLLC IS LEADING COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS TO REDUCE WILDLIFE-VEHICLE COLLISIONS NEAR TWO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK GATEWAYS. COLLISIONS WITH ELK, BISON, AND OTHER SPECIES ARE RISING DUE TO INCREASED VISITORS AND RESIDENTS. IN FY24, CLLC AND ITS PARTNERS COMPLETED ASSESSMENTS OF WILDLIFE MOVEMENT AND TRANSPORTATION ON US-191 AND US-89-TWO BUSY MONTANA HIGHWAYS LEADING TO AND FROM YELLOWSTONE-TO DETERMINE THE HIGHEST-PRIORITY SITES FOR WILDLIFE CROSSINGS. RESEARCH TEAMS ANALYZED COLLISION DATA, ANIMAL CARCASS COUNTS, WILDLIFE MOVEMENTS, AND OTHER FACTORS TO PINPOINT AREAS FOR DECISION MAKERS TO CONSIDER CROSSING STRUCTURES OR OTHER MEASURES TO REDUCE COLLISIONS AND IMPROVE HABITAT CONNECTIVITY-KEY STEPS FOR PROTECTING BOTH HUMANS AND WILDLIFE. FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AND POLICIES HAVE INCREASED FUNDING FOR CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION IN THE US, BUT STRATEGIC PLANNING IS CRUCIAL FOR LEVERAGING THESE HISTORIC INVESTMENTS. STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLANS (SWAPS), SEEN AS "CONSERVATION BLUEPRINTS," ARE CRUCIAL AS THEY COMPILE THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE, IDENTIFY THREATS AND ACTIONS, AND PROMOTE COORDINATION ACROSS VARIOUS PARTNERS. IN FY24, CLLC AUTHORED THE REPORT 'INTEGRATING CONNECTIVITY INTO STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLANS (SWAPS): THREATS, ACTIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS,' OFFERING SWAP PLANNERS AND PARTNERS A COMPREHENSIVE "MENU" OF EXISTING CONNECTIVITY ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN ADVANCE CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION IN THE FACE OF SPECIFIC THREATS. THIS REPORT HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES AND CONSERVATION GROUPS NATIONWIDE AND IS BEING USED TO INCORPORATE CONNECTIVITY GOALS INTO SWAPS. LARGE LANDSCAPES OFTEN CROSS INTERNATIONAL BORDERS, REQUIRING COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS TO CONSERVE AND CONNECT THEM. IN FY24, CLLC CO-CONVENED THE NORTHEASTERN NORTH AMERICA / TURTLE ISLAND LANDSCAPE CONNECTIVITY SUMMIT IN MONTREAL, WHERE MORE THAN 170 INDIVIDUALS MET FOR THIS FIRST-EVER CROSS-BOUNDARY GATHERING FOCUSED ON INCREASED COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE FIVE EASTERN-MOST CANADIAN PROVINCES, SEVEN NORTHEASTERN-MOST US STATES, AND INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES OF THE REGION. OUTCOMES FROM THE SUMMIT ARE ADVANCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH-LEVEL, REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY "ROAD MAP" THAT IDENTIFIES KEY OPPORTUNITIES, STRATEGIES, AND POTENTIAL ACTIONS BY EACH SECTOR TO CONNECT AND RESTORE ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY ACROSS THE REGION.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B	BUILDING CONSERVATION NETWORKS PROGRAM - IN FY24, CLLC AND THE NETWORK FOR LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION ENTERED THE 5TH YEAR OF THE LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION CATALYST FUND PROJECT. THE PROJECT AWARDED ITS CATALYST FUND GRANTS IN SEPTEMBER 2023, TOTALING MORE THAN $355,000 TO 15 LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION PARTNERSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. LAUNCHED IN 2019 AND AWARDING GRANTS ANNUALLY, THE CATALYST FUND AIMS TO ACCELERATE THE PACE AND PRACTICE OF COLLABORATIVE LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP ACROSS THE US. FUNDS ARE USED TO ADVANCE PARTNERSHIPS' EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE ECOLOGICAL, CULTURAL, AND COMMUNITY VALUES OF THE LANDSCAPES THEY CALL HOME. GRANTS ARE MADE TO PARTNERSHIPS DEMONSTRATING A GENUINELY COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO CONSERVATION, INVOLVING A VARIETY OF STAKEHOLDERS AND OFTEN INCLUDING HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM PREVIOUS LAND-MANAGEMENT DECISIONS. A PORTION OF THE FUND IS SPECIFICALLY DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP IN LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION. THROUGHOUT FY24, CLLC CONTINUED AS A FISCAL SPONSOR FOR THE UNITED STATES BIOSPHERE NETWORK (USBN), A NETWORK REPRESENTING THE 28 BIOSPHERE REGIONS IN THE UNITED STATES. CLLC IS LENDING ITS SCIENCE, POLICY, AND CAPACITY-BUILDING EXPERTISE TO HELP STRENGTHEN THE NETWORK OF BIOSPHERE REGIONS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND ACCESS TO OTHER NATIONAL NETWORKS AND PARTNERSHIPS. WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT FOR THE NETWORK, HOSTING WEBSITE LANDING PAGES AND PRODUCING A QUARTERLY E-NEWSLETTER THAT IS HELPING CONNECT, INFORM, AND SHARE BEST PRACTICES WITH HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BIOSPHERE REGIONS. IN ADDITION, IN FY24, CLLC SUPPORTED THE LAUNCH AND PROMOTION OF A SERIES OF SIX EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS CALLED "BIOSPHERE BITES" TO GIVE BIOSPHERE REGIONS AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN COLLABORATIVE CONSERVATION AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE, IDEAS, AND RESOURCES.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C	INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION PROGRAM - AS A GLOBAL LEADER IN CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION AND LINEAR INFRASTRUCTURE ECOLOGY, CLLC WORKS TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO WILDLIFE MOVEMENT AND REDUCE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. IN FY24, WE LAUNCHED THE "A ROAD RUNS THROUGH IT" PROJECT IN WESTERN ZAMBIA'S 22,000-SQUARE-KILOMETER KAFUE NATIONAL PARK, WHICH FACES SERIOUS THREATS FROM WILDLIFE VEHICLE COLLISIONS ON THE M9-A HIGH-SPEED HIGHWAY THAT BISECTS OR BORDERS 143 KILOMETERS OF THE PARK. THE PROJECT AIMS TO ASSESS THE HIGHWAY'S IMPACT ON WILDLIFE AND RECOMMEND MITIGATION STRATEGIES TO PROTECT THE PARK'S ICONIC SPECIES LIKE ELEPHANTS, LIONS, CHEETAHS, AND WILD DOGS. CLLC CONTINUED OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSERVING HABITAT FOR ASIAN ELEPHANTS AS THE EXPLOSION OF NEW ROADS, RAILWAYS AND OTHER LINEAR INFRASTRUCTURE IN ASIA CAUSES DEADLY COLLISIONS ALONG WITH BARRIERS TO ELEPHANT MOVEMENT. IN RESPONSE, CLLC AND ITS PARTNERS IN THE ASIAN ELEPHANT TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP (ASETWG) PUBLISHED THE FIRST ELEPHANT-SPECIFIC HANDBOOK TO HELP COUNTRIES REDUCE COLLISIONS AND PROVIDE SAFE PASSAGE FOR ELEPHANTS. THE 'HANDBOOK TO MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF ROADS AND RAILWAYS ON ASIAN ELEPHANTS' WAS CO-AUTHORED BY TWO CLLC STAFF MEMBERS ALONGSIDE NINE OTHER EXPERTS ON ELEPHANTS AND TRANSPORT ECOLOGY FROM THE ASETWG. THIS HANDBOOK GIVES SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REDUCING THE HARMFUL IMPACTS OF ROADS AND RAILWAYS BY PROVIDING WORKABLE SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS AND EXPERT-INFORMED GUIDANCE ON DESIGNING ELEPHANT-SPECIFIC CROSSINGS. IN ADDITION, CLLC WORKED WITH THE QUEBEC ECOLOGICAL CORRIDORS INITIATIVE, HOSTED BY THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF CANADA (NCC), TO ADVISE ON ECOLOGICAL CORRIDOR DESIGN, GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT AND MONITORING. IN THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS PARTNERSHIP, WE DEVELOPED A STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN FOR THREE CORRIDORS AND SUPPORTED FOUR IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS WITH LOCAL PARTNERS FROM NOVEMBER 2023 THROUGH MAY 2024. IN TOTAL, AROUND 60 PARTICIPANTS CAME FROM UNIVERSITIES, MUNICIPALITIES, LOCAL NGOS, FORESTRY COMPANIES, AND OTHER PRIVATE LANDOWNERS TO DISCUSS MUTUALLY HELD VALUES, OBJECTIVES, AND CHALLENGES FOR EACH CORRIDOR. THESE OUTCOMES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE, WHICH IS SHARED AMONG MANY DIVERSE CONSTITUENCIES WITH A STAKE IN THESE COMPLEX LANDSCAPES.

	BUILDING CONSERVATION NETWORKS PROGRAM - CLLC HOLDS LEADERSHIP ROLES FOR THE NETWORK FOR LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION (NLC) AND THE UNITED STATES BIOSPHERE NETWORK (USBN), SERVING AS THEIR HOST AND FISCAL SPONSOR. THROUGH THESE NETWORKS, WE SUPPORT THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS, POLICYMAKERS, AND COMMUNITY LEADERS BY SHARING EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE AND FACILITATING REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS. CLLC ALSO PROVIDES STRATEGIC COUNSEL, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT, ALLOWING NETWORK STAFF AND MEMBERS TO FOCUS ON ENGAGING AND EMPOWERING LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION PRACTITIONERS GLOBALLY. SEE SCHEDULE O.

	INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION PROGRAM - THE INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM WORKS COLLABORATIVELY WITH GLOBAL PARTNERS IN KEY BIODIVERSITY AREAS TO PROTECT LANDSCAPES FROM FRAGMENTATION BY IMPLEMENTING CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION POLICY AND PRACTICE, LEADING TO LONG-TERM CONSERVATION OUTCOMES. WE BELIEVE THAT PROTECTED AREAS FUNCTION BEST WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED AT THE LANDSCAPE SCALE, ENSURING WILDLIFE MOVEMENT AND THRIVING ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES. THROUGH OUR LEADERSHIP OF THE IUCN CONNECTIVITY CONSERVATION SPECIALIST GROUP (CCSG), WE ARE OPERATING SEVERAL INTERNATIONAL WORKING GROUPS OF PROFESSIONALS-SUCH AS THE ASIAN ELEPHANT TRANSPORT WORKING GROUP AND THE MARINE CONNECTIVITY WORKING GROUP-DEVELOPING MECHANISMS TO PROTECT LINKAGE AREAS THAT MAINTAIN ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY AROUND THE WORLD.

	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 630,980 including grants of $ 148,249 ) (Revenue $ 97,308 )
	ADVANCING CONSERVATION SCIENCE - IN FY24, CLLC CONTINUED ITS CONSERVATION WORK IN THE PACHA REGION OF SOUTH AMERICA-ENCOMPASSING THE PANTANAL AND THE GRAN CHACO ECOSYSTEMS-WHICH FACES FRAGMENTATION FROM AGRICULTURE, INDUSTRY, AND INCREASING WILDFIRES. THE RICHLY BIODIVERSE REGION COVERS PARTS OF FOUR COUNTRIES: BOLIVIA, PARAGUAY, BRAZIL, AND ARGENTINA. COLLABORATING WITH WWF AND REGIONAL EXPERTS, CLLC ADVANCED THE WILDLIFE CONNECT INITIATIVE, IDENTIFYING ECOLOGICAL NETWORKS OF HABITAT FOR JAGUARS TO GUIDE CONSERVATION AND PROTECT CONNECTIVITY FOR MULTIPLE SPECIES. IN AN EARLIER PROJECT PHASE, THE TEAM MAPPED JAGUAR MOVEMENT CORRIDORS AND SET UP SYSTEMS TO TRACK HOW CONNECTIVITY CHANGES OVER TIME. IN A SECOND PHASE OF THE PROJECT, A WORKSHOP IN BOLIVIA PRIORITIZED THE HIGHEST KEY CORRIDORS, ENSURING STRATEGIC RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR CONSERVATION AND PRESERVING ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY AND BIODIVERSITY INTO THE FUTURE. AS AN INTERNATIONAL EXPERT IN ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY SCIENCE, CLLC WAS TAPPED IN FY24 TO LEAD THE "ENHANCING CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS IN JORDAN" INITIATIVE. THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS JORDAN'S NATIONAL STRATEGY TO EXPAND ITS PROTECTED AREA NETWORK, WHICH CURRENTLY COVERS ONLY 5.3% OF ITS LAND, WHILE THE GLOBAL 30X30 INITIATIVE SEEKS 30% CONSERVATION BY 2030. CLLC MODELED CONNECTIVITY FOR KEY SPECIES AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE, INTEGRATING BIOLOGICAL AND SOCIOECONOMIC DATA. THE PROJECT PROVIDED DECISION-SUPPORT MAPS, REPORTS, AND TRAINING FOR EXPANDING AND CONNECTING PROTECTED AREA NETWORKS, BENEFITING LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS. CLLC IS ADVISING US FEDERAL AND STATE WILDLIFE AGENCIES IMPROVING HABITAT CONNECTIVITY FOR THE ENDANGERED SONORAN PRONGHORN. THE ISOLATION AND LACK OF ECOLOGICAL CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN HERDS PREVENTS PRONGHORN FROM MOVING FREELY ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE TO FIND FOOD, WATER, AND MATES, POSING A MAJOR THREAT TO THE SPECIES' SURVIVAL. IN MARCH 2024, WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, CLLC ORGANIZED AND LED A SONORAN PRONGHORN CONNECTIVITY WORKSHOP IN ARIZONA, ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS TO ADVANCE THE SPECIES' RECOVERY AND EVENTUAL REMOVAL FROM THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST. BASED ON THE OUTCOMES OF THE WORKSHOP, CLLC IS FINALIZING A WORKPLAN AND A DATA COMPILATION ON THREATS TO THE PRONGHORN THAT WILL AID WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS, RESEARCHERS, AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES IN FUTURE RECOVERY EFFORTS.
