with stakeholders to identify partnerships for implementing conservation actions and to ensure this entire
process of conservation planning continues on a statewide basis.
Summary
In order for this "conservation blueprint" to truly serve as a long-term guide improving
Mississippi's biological diversity, our agency must ensure the following:
- A full-time conservation planner/State Wildlife Grants Coordinator is hired to lead the
further development and implementation of this CWCS. - The CWCS Advisory Committee becomes a permanent, standing committee that will
continue to aid in the development, partnership and implementation of the CWCS along
with the Technical and Steering Committees. - The CWCS be further refined with the help of stakeholders and the public to allow for "on
the ground" implementation and monitoring of conservation actions on the most critical
landscapes.
