Maine Wildlands Network Vision: A Scientific Approach to Conservation Planning in Maine
This document is a blueprint for a proposed Maine Wildlands Network, comprised of core wild areas and wildlife linkages designed to protect Maine’s ecosystems in perpetuity. This wildlands network addresses the human impacts—or ecological wounds—to the land, and applies the principles of regional and continental restoration to begin healing them. The primary goals of the network are to protect the state’s diverse natural communities, sustain healthy populations of native wildlife that depend upon those habitats, and restore key natural processes across the landscape.
