Resource Abstract:
- description: These data area an extraction from the National Conservation Easement Database (NCED) by the boundaries of the
Colorado Plateau Ecoregion study area. The National Conservation Easement Database (NCED) is the first national database of
conservation easement information, compiling records from land trusts and public agencies throughout the United States. This
public-private partnership brings together easement information from national conservation groups, local and regional land
trusts, and state and federal agencies. NCED is limited to the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii. It does not include conservation
easement data for U.S. territories at this time. The NCED dataset portrays the nation's conservation easements with a
standardized spatial geometry and numerous valuable attributes on land ownership, management designations, and conservation
status (using national GAP coding systems). The database represents the full range of conservation designations for conservation
easements in the United States. Our database does not distinguish a protection threshold above which biodiversity is considered
secure. Instead, a complete suite of conservation easement attributes are provided for each polygon with the purpose of giving
users the information they need to define the most relevant conservation thresholds for their own objectives and requirements.
Collaborating with the nation's leading data providers, the goal is to provide regular updates.; abstract: These data
