In 2013, OSI launched the Resilient Landscapes Initiative to translate groundbreaking climate science and support a new approach to land protection in the face of climate change. The Initiative promoted a shift in conservation outcomes and planning — from a focus on natural communities and species, to the protection of enduring features on the landscape – those places most likely to harbor plants and animals in a warming world. To achieve these goals, OSI provided capital and planning grants, conducted education and training efforts, and developed and distributed guidance materials to land trusts and state agencies.
