Summary
This project synthesized regional conservation information from ongoing and completed work generated by the Regional Conservation Needs (RCN) program, State Wildlife Grants (SWG) program, and the North Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (NALCC). It presents this information in a format that states can readily access and incorporate into their 2015 Wildlife Action Plan SWAP revisions. The synthesis and related components: enable more effective use of existing regional and landscape-scale data from RCNs, LCCs and Competitive SWGs; improve efficiency and reduce costs to individual states in addressing regional needs in their SWAPs; better incorporate regional information into SWAP updates; and provide information that allows states and conservation partners to make decisions within a regional context. This report is the first comprehensive summary of the regional information on species, habitats, threats, actions, monitoring, and coordination as extracted from RCN projects.

Summary
This project will create a web-accessible database framework that will be populated with the required elements from each state’s Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP). The database will allow states, LCCs, and other partners to roll-up SWAP contents and extract common elements at any desired scale across the region. Data elements will include state SGCN listing criteria, species vulnerability assessments, habitat distribution and abundance, species and habitat threats, and conservation actions. Each of these elements will be cross-walked from individual state systems to the TRACS and IUCN classification systems.
