Based at Northern Arizona University and drawing on the expertise of its many partners, the LCI leverages a strong research capacity to inform collaborative design, planning, and management efforts. We also leverage this interdisciplinary work to train students and mid-career professionals in practical, yet creative approaches to landscape conservation and stewardship. By engaging students, decision makers, and the public in meaningful dialog grounded in robust science, the LCI helps forge solutions at scales that make a difference to western ecosystems and the people who depend on them.
