Working collaboratively across all lands, agencies, and organizations, the 2-3-2 Partnership will coordinate efforts to promote resilient landscapes that protect and improve water resources for communities, provide habitat for wildlife, and support the economic and cultural resilience of communities within and downstream of the 2-3-2 boundary. A collective vision of reestablishing natural fire regimes and reducing wildfire risk has galvanized communities in this landscape.
By regularly convening diverse partners, promoting coordinated and holistic planning, and elevating local efforts, the 2-3-2 Partnership aims to facilitate cooperation and information-sharing between organizations working toward landscape conservation with an emphasis on watershed resilience in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Partners of the 2-3-2 are committed to integrated 2 management strategies that include wildlife, aquatic health, and communities alongside forest health and water quantity deliverables, and are informed by the best available science.
Within the landscape, the 2-3-2 Partnership will seek to:
● Reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfire
● Increase the number of fire adapted communities
● Restore natural fire regimes
● Increase forest health and diversity
● Improve fish and wildlife habitat and connectivity
● Conserve critical wildlife habitat to aid in threatened and endangered species recovery
● Improve water quality and watershed function
● Mitigate climate change impacts
● Improve response to fire
The 2-3-2 Partnership will take these priorities for the landscape as it seeks to restore the watershed resilience for the landscape and for the plant, and wildlife, and human communities in the Rio Chama footprint through cross-boundary, collaborative efforts. The 2-3-2 Partnership will advance these efforts through meaningful stakeholder collaboration, the use of best available science, the integration of traditional ecological knowledge, and the leveraging of resources.
We’re always looking to engage with new partners and create new relationships so that we can ensure our work is representative of our diverse geography and communities and compliments the work beyond our boundaries. The Media and Storytelling Kit provides a summary document of who we are and what we do.
Working together we will cross public/ private lands, state and federal agencies to:
Develop resilient landscapes and communities that can co-exist with fire
Prepare our communities and landscapes for changes
Build resilient water resources and economies
Nurture and promote community engagement
Elevate and expand the work of established local efforts
Work collaboratively across public and private lands with the support of state, federal, and tribal entities and established collaborative groups
We collaborate across boundaries to:
Develop smoother operations and responses to ecosystem changes
Promote forest health across public/private boundaries
Secure resilient water resources
Incorporate best available science into land management practices
Support regional needs (planning)
Promote public education & support
Work to restore Fish and Wildlife habitat linkages
Together, we will:
Establish a learning network for the sharing and transfer of knowledge
Implement coordinated forest health treatment activities
Develop cross-jurisdictional policy for prescribed fire and wildfire management
Support/ promote regional outlets for product utilization
Host events to inform the public & garner support
Increase capacity by sharing personnel and resources to support on-the- ground projects
Leverage funds for ongoing projects
