Conservation Action Plans

Across the Calumet region of Northwest Indiana and Southeast Chicagoland, conservation partners have undertaken dedicated work for many years in ten focus areas that represent diverse ecosystems, river corridors and the impressive biodiversity they collectively support. Unique combinations of partners and stakeholders have produced “Conservation Action Plans,” (CAPs) for nine of these focus areas to strategically advance their work toward shared conservation goals. In the Conservation Action Planning Alignment Report, the CAPs developed for the nine focus areas are aligned around a shared framework to facilitate comparison, coordination and broad regional impact.
