Two Countries, One Forest

L'organisation

Deux Pays, Une Forêt est une organisation internationale qui s'efforce de mettre la conservation du paysage au service de la protection et du maintien de l'écorégion des Appalaches nordiques et l'Acadie. Cette écorégion qui couvre 33 millions hectares (ou 80 millions d'acres) et comprend des forêts s'étend sur la partie la plus à l'est de l'Amérique du Nord.

The ecosystem

The Northern Appalachian/Acadian ecoregion is unique, and uniquely challenged: we know of nowhere else in the world where so much forest is located so close to so many people. The ecoregion spans two countries, five states and four provinces.

The idea

Who is tracking the cumulative ecological effect of land-use decisions being made today, on both sides of our border? Conservationists and government agencies in Canada and the U.S. have little history of working together on habitat protection and history.

Identifying Corridors among Large Protected Areas in the United States
This study aims to identify potential connections between protected areas in the contiguous Unites States by applying a modelling approach that maps “natural” (i.e., least human-modified) corridors between large protected areas.

Interacting Social and Environmental Predictors for the Spatial Distribution of Conservation Lands
Conservation decisions should be evaluated for how they meet conservation goals at multiple spatial extents. Conservation easements are land use decisions resulting from a combination of social and environmental conditions. An emerging area of research is the evaluation of spatial distribution of easements and their spatial correlates. We tested the relative influence of interacting social and environmental variables on the spatial distribution of conservation easements by ownership category and conservation status.

Deux Pays, Une Forêt Deux Pays, Une Forêt est un cadre important de collaboration transfrontière, qui rassemble des organisations, des chercheurs, des fondations et des personnalités oeuvrant pour la conservation. Notre communauté internationale centre son action sur la protection, la conservation et la régénération des forêts et du patrimoine naturel de l'écorégion des Appalaches nordiques et de l'Acadie qui s'étend de New York à la nouvelle Écosse.
