The South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Coop- <br />erative ( SALCC) (Figure 5 -9), slated to be formed <br />in 2010, covers most of North Carolina, except for <br />the Westernmost portion of the state which is part of <br />the Appalachian LCC. In addition to North Caro- <br />lina, the SALCC covers the Southeastern portion of <br />Virginia, most of South Carolina and Georgia, and <br />the Northernmost portion of Florida. The stated <br />purpose of the SALCC is to facilitate conserva- <br />tion planning and design across state boundaries <br />�t��� <br />to supplement the State Wildlife Action Plans and <br />provide better coverage for wide ranging species. <br />It will also provide a broader geographic scale to <br />address the impacts from climate change, competi- <br />tion for water, wildlife disease, invasive species and <br />other critical challenges. <br />The SALCC will work in close partnership with the <br />USGS proposed Southern Region Climate Change <br />Response Center to assess the impacts of region- <br />al climate change. Efforts will include acquiring <br />expertise to develop, test, implement and monitor <br />conservation strategies. As of this fall, more than $3 <br />million has been committed by partners — includ- <br />O ii <br />:: :: <br />w�rH�i� uu �,,' , <br />Aiii r� W,1y N �g6 'II ' ':��� ulVk� ".
