Major Changes
§ Comprehensive strategy vs implementation guide
§ Overarching goals § Establish desired number and distribution of viable populations
for each SGCN and target Focal Species by 2025 § Manage habitats through promoting self- maintaining natural-
disturbance regimes for the benefit of native species; § Develop resiliency and connectedness into habitats so species
can adjust to landscape and environmental changes; and § Foster an awareness, appreciation, and connection to SGNC and
associated habitats among the public.
