Current Version: 10.81

Service Description:

The Customized version of the RCN represents a version of the national dataset that has been further reviewed and augmented by science and conservation staff in each of The Nature Conservancy’s seven North America Divisions. The augmentations reflect local site knowledge, field checking of connectivity linkages, and restoration work to restore resilience.

Most additional areas were added within the current categories of the RCN, with additions to resilience, flow, and biodiversity. Two new categories were added for restoration sites that were below the national resilience threshold but had recognized biodiversity value or diffuse flow.

Additions to the customized RCN include:



Final CRCS dataset. The Resilient and Connected Networks are a representative, connected network of climate resilient sites that if conserved, could help us sustain biodiversity into the future. The TNC Customized Resilient and Connected Network (RCN) represents a version of the national dataset that has been reviewed and augmented by science and conservation staff in each of The Nature Conservancy’s seven North America Divisions. The augmentations reflect local site knowledge, field checking of connectivity linkages, and restoration work to restore resilience.

The Nature Conservancy’s Conserving Nature’s Stage initiative addresses this problem by identifying and mapping a representative, connected network of climate resilient sites which if conserved, could help sustain biodiversity into the future as it moves and changes. The network also protects the source water, carbon stocks, oxygen, and recreation space that people depend on. 

TNC’s Resilient and Connected Network (RCN) is a proposed conservation network of representative climate-resilient sites designed to sustain biodiversity and ecological functions into the future under a changing climate. The network was identified and mapped over a 10-year period by Nature Conservancy scientists using public data available at the state and national scale, and an inclusive process that involved over 150 scientists from agencies, academia and NGOs across the US. 

The Network is a starting point for conversations with local communities, indigenous tribes, land trusts, agencies, corporations, and funders on how to coordinate conservation efforts to increase our collective impact and sustain nature. Resilient lands and waters may be conserved by a wide range of measures from good land stewardship, to other forms of private land conservation, to outright fee or easement acquisition by various levels of government.
