Collaborative Connectivity Conservation
Empower our leadership and partnership power within Duke’s home region to conserve and restore habitat connectivity that ensures long-term protection and resilience of biodiversity and natural resources. Duke Forest staff have been powerful, effective conveners of the diverse players within and beyond Duke – and across the fields of conservation, land-use, transportation, and education – that must work together to design, analyze, and most importantly, implement policies and practices that conserve and restore functional ecological networks. These networks are the backbone of the massive body of activities being employed to curb and mitigate the effects of climate change. A transformational gift would facilitate Duke Forest’s work with external partners to secure, restore, and steward habitat anchors and corridors within our existing natural network, as well as provide coordinating and partnering capacity for continuing to advance a strategic action plan for connectivity conservation in the Triangle.
Join us in our collaborative efforts to conserve and restore our vital, dynamic region.
