The Staying Connected
Initiative (SCI) seeks to conserve, restore, and enhance landscape connectivity
across the Northern Appalachian/Acadian region of the U.S. and Canada for the
benefit of nature and people. Sustaining connectivity safeguards native wildlife
and plants from the impacts of habitat fragmentation and climate change, and
supports human activities and values that are tied to the forested landscape. http://stayingconnectedinitiative.org/
