WMI is the only organization with extensive multi-state and international landscape conservation experience; WMI has been an integral part of the North Atlantic and Appalachian LCC process. We are confident the success achieved in the Northeast Region can also become a success in the Southwest Region. Because we expect a long-standing relationship with Mexico in this LCC, the international experience is truly unique. The single-source award to the WMI is necessary to assure active conservation of important fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats in the Gulf Coast Prairie LCC. Competition could delay important conservation progress and would have a significant adverse effect on the Service's mission, especially establishing landscape priority of the LCC and outreach activities.
