Regional Conservation Guide Release -
The Regional Conservation Guide, one of the primary reasons CCP was
formed
in 1995, will be released September 12th, 2005 (CCP will be giving
a
presentation at the Faulkner Gallery on September 12th at 6:30 -
details
below). The guide will serve the community by identifying and
mapping
ecological characteristics of the landscape, then synthesizing
these
characteristics to identify areas of priority for conservation in
our
region. This information will lead towards more efficient and
informed
decisions towards protecting important natural areas in our region.
Please
contact Conception Coast Project for more information about this
exciting
conservation document(ccp@conceptioncoast.org) or more information can

Mountain Lion Database Online -
Conception Coast Project's online mountain lion database is available
for
the community. This online database will allow our community to
identify
where mountain lions have been spotted (sightings, tracks, scat, etc.)
in
the Conception Coast Region. Mountain lions are a keystone specie
which are
important for identifying critical habitat for conservation
planning. The
database can be found here
http://www.conceptioncoast.org/projects_mountain_lion.html
- click on the
input information to submit sightings. This citizen science will be
collected and aid in Conception Coast Project's future conservation planning
efforts to identify critical areas for preservation.
