We are fast approaching the Beta (Soft) release of the Conservation Planning Atlas (CPA). This blog will be used to let people know of status of the CPA development, when information has been updated or added to the CPA, and other pertinent information regarding the CPA.

The CPA is is a science-based mapping platform where conservation managers and LCC members can go to view, retrieve, and perform analyses on spatial information with specific conservation goals in mind. Three portals have been created for the LCC network: the Gulf Coastal Plains and Ozarks LCC (GCPO LCC), the South Atlantic LCC (SA LCC), and the Southeastern Region of the USFWS. Spatially explicit datasets, galleries, and maps are available in a hierarchical system: GCPO LCC specific datasets and SA LCC specific datasets, Southeastern datasets, or the entire Databasin archive data can be searched, viewed, and used in analyses. Additionally, you can upload your own data to your account to be used in conjunction with these datasets.

Concerns and questions about the CPA can be directed here.
