Organizations Filed Purposes:
The Institute of Regional Conservation (IRC) is dedicated to the protection, restoration, and long-term management of biodiversity on a regional basis, and to the prevention of regional extinctions of rare plants, animals and ecosystems.
Ecological Restoration and Management (ERM) Since 2006, we have designed and implemented dozens of ecological restoration projects to help recover degraded native ecosystems and depleted populations of native plants and animals. This work includes our Pine Rockland Initiative in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties, and work under the State of Florida's Invasive Plant Management (IMP) Program.
Education and Outreach We develop interactive programs that engage the public and citizen scientists, and develop online tools to improve conservation efforts at the grassroots level. Our Natives For Your Neighborhood website, now being expanded statewide, records more than 60,000 page views per month. In Delray Beach, Florida, we have developed our Green Delray program, which utilizes volunteers to implement ecological restoration projects in our local community. Our Education and Outreach program is spearheading our new Restoring the Gold Coast program, which works with children and adult volunteers to restore biodiversity along the barrier islands in southern Palm Beach County.
Applied Conservation Science Since 1996, we have completed dozens of projects, from rare species surveys to conservation area inventories in collaboration with other researchers in order to produce data relevant to land managers. This work contributes data to our online databases and informs our Regional Conservation Models work. Our 2015 report on Vascular plant species of management concern in Everglades National Park culminated over a decade of work on rare plants in the park. We are now partnering with Broward County and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden to evaluate the conservation status of vascular plants in urban Broward County, including as assessment of local extinctions of native plants and opportunities for ecological restoration.
