Denver, CO – April 6, 2023: Visible Network Labs, a leading provider of network analysis tools and consulting services, is proud to announce a new partnership with Keeping Forests, a groundbreaking organization that aims to catalyze market-based forest conservation across the southern United States. By leveraging the power of network science and collaboration, this partnership will facilitate the development of innovative solutions and strategies for the protection and preservation of forests in the region.

The success of this approach depends on a strong foundation of collaboration and the ability to understand and engage with the complex network of stakeholders involved in this critical mission.
Visible Network Labs will support Keeping Forests in building capacity to leverage and engage networks for forest conservation by developing a comprehensive network map and living, web-based tool. This tool will enable Keeping Forests to inform strategy, measure outcomes, and break down silos, ultimately enhancing the ability of the entire region to collaborate more effectively on shared priorities.

"We are thrilled to be working with Keeping Forests to help them leverage the power of network science for improved collaboration. This partnership will not only help Keeping Forests reach their goal of protecting forests across the U.S. South, but will also contribute to the broader community by enhancing regional collaboration on shared priorities. By working together, we can create a lasting impact on the health and resilience of our forests and the communities that depend on them."
