This project is intended to promote the conservation of a selected group of 17 migratory and transboundary species
of birds and mammals (the Species of Common Conservation Concern—SCCC) and their habitats. Given that the
majority of the SCCC are associated with grasslands, an ecosystem approach has been followed, resulting in a
conservation strategy [preliminary conservation framework] developed in 2002. The finalized strategy provides the
context and guidance for enhanced multi-stakeholder cooperation throughout North America’s central grasslands. In
2003, action plans will be developed and initiated to facilitate cooperative efforts in the conservation of grassland SCCC.
