Presented by: Dr. Joseph J. Apodaca of Warren Wilson College & Dr. Stephen Spear of The Orianne Society

Description:
As the threats facing our natural resources continue to increase at an exponential rate, conservation organizations must quickly evolve to meet these challenges. An effective approach to preserving biodiversity is the protection of viable populations of priority species and areas that contain viable populations for a high number of species.

Members of The Orianne Society, Warren Wilson College, Partners for Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC), and the South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SALCC) have worked collaboratively to develop model criteria for designating Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas (PARCAs) for the southeastern United States.

The PARCA idea is loosely based on the Important Birds Areas (IBAs) movement. IBAs target areas essential to bird conservation and have arguably been one of the most successful conservation programs in the world. The southeastern PARCA project is expected to raise the profile of high priority species or areas, increase public awareness of locally important conservation areas, and elevate the importance of proper management at these sites.

In this webinar hosted by NCSU Extension Forestry, the presenters will discuss the development of PARCAs, areas of the southeastern United States likely to be designated as PARCAs, and how state and federal agencies can use PARCAs to conserve amphibians, reptiles and their habitats. Please visit this site for further information on ongoing PARCA projects and this site to download the PARCAs criteria and implementation plan.
